Case update - Cosido & the People vs
Malou Loot over improper dismissal - 25 September
2012This article was originally
published elsewhere &
is republished here for the information of our
readers

A legal case relating to alleged
actions of retribution that led to the improper dismissal of Jeronimo Cosido by
Daanbantayan Mayor Malou Loot in 2003, has proceeded further during a hearing
session on Thursday 20 September 2012. The Sandiganbayan court in Manila
heard arguments from the state prosecution lawyer Atty Ibora, who requested a
Preventative Suspension Order be issued against Mayor Malou Loot, so she would
be stood down as the Mayor of Daanbantayan for the duration of the court
hearing, to ensure she did not interfere with witnesses or evidence in
her capacity as Mayor.

The defence lawyer for Malou Loot also submitted a request to the court
asking for a fifteen day period in which they could prepare & submit
comment on the request for suspension. This is seen by observers to be a
delaying tactic, as the defence team were well aware of the request for
suspension, it having been made a few days after the arraignment hearing that
took place on 23 August 2012. The defence clearly had ample time in which to
prepare any comments they wished to submit (ie approximately a month).

The court did not rule upon or grant the request of the defence lawyers,
but instead retired to consider the information before them. It is expected that
a decision will be announced before the next hearing date on Thursday 27
September 2012, where the presentation of witnesses & evidence begins in
detail. Witnesses from Daanbantayan etc have previously been subpoenaed to
attend the court sessions in Manila. The court has also scheduled the hearing to
continue the next day on Friday 28 September 2012.

The Sandiganbayan has booked numerous dates on which to hear this case
swiftly, those dates being 27 & 28 September, then a few days later on
Tuesday 2nd October immediately followed by 3 & 4 October. Then there is a
final "rally" or "marathon" court sessions to be held on the dates of 5, 6, 7,
14, 21, 22 & 23 November 2012. This is a total of twelve hearing sessions
allocated to the case, which indicates the Sandiganbayan is keen to live up to
their tough reputation for dispensing justice & dealing with lawbreakers
swiftly.

This matter has previously been heard in the courts a few years ago &
the case against Malou Loot was dismissed. Under the new government of the
current President elected in 2010, who won the election on a strong anti
corruption platform, the previous legal decision was challenged, and the court
granted permission for a new trial to "re-hear" the matter. Onlookers believe a
gross miscarriage of justice was previously done by dismissing the case against
Malou Loot, as it appeared from original records that Jeronimo Cosido had in his
possession, that there was indeed an "improper dismissal" carried out by Malou
Loot, who allegedly improperly exerted her influence following a personal
dispute with Jeronimo Cosido's brother, Bartoleme. Rumours abound that Malou
Loot allegedly bribed the outcome of previous trials to be in her favour, as
corruption of court officials was allegedly prolific during previous
Presidential administrations.

Onlookers are anticipating a verdict will be issued in November or December
2012. If Malou is found guilty on even one of the multiple charges, then
she faces permanent dismissal from her government role as Mayor, & would be
unable to hold a government job again. This would clearly exclude her from
running for election as Mayor or any other position in the Daanbantayan Council
in the forthcoming May 2013 elections. A guilty verdict will end the political
career of Malou Loot for ever more, much to the joy of her opponents who allege
she runs the council using corrupt & illegal means in order to profiteer for
herself & increase her families wealth by stealing from the people.

Cosido & the People vs Malou Loot over improper dismissal - 19 September 2012This article was originally published elsewhere & is republished here for the information of our readers

A legal case having its beginnings in 2003 following actions of retribution allegedly carried out by Malou Loot against Jeronimo Cosido, has finally commenced in the Sandiganbayan Court in Manila on 23 August 2012. This followed an 18 month delay while legal objections were submitted by the accused Malou Loot & her legal team. All these objections were ruled against one by one, culminating in Malou lodging a 220 page submission to the Supreme Court, which was also dismissed by the Supreme Court for having no merit. To further delay proceedings Malou also did not show up due to ill health on occasion, much to the annoyance of the Manila based Sandiganbayan court officials who convened especially in Cebu City so that Malou could not avoid attending.

Malou Loot was arraigned in Manila on 23 August 2012 where she pleaded not guilty to the charges involving the allegedly wrongful dismissal of Jeronimo Cosido & withholding of his pay, as well as an administrative graft charge over her allegedly wrongful & improper actions. She looked very sour faced & spoke meekly & was unable to look her accuser Jeronimo Cosido in the face.

A pre trial hearing took place in Manila on 6 September & procedural aspects of the forthcoming legal court hearings case were sorted out, which Malou also attended.

The court has set aside numerous dates for the hearing on 27, 28 September, 2, 3, 4 October & 5, 6, 7, 14, 21, 22, 23 November, a total of twelve hearing sessions, ample time in which to hear all the evidence submitted & determine the case & even deliver a verdict. Whatever the outcome, the court appears keen to resolve this matter in marathon hearing sessions over a relatively short period of 3 months, when compared to the time that other legal matters take to be resolved in the Philippines.

Furthermore the court has called a hearing session on Thursday 20 September 2012 to hear the previously lodged request by the prosecution lawyer Atty Ibora, for a Preventative Suspension Order against Malou Loot, which would see her stood down as the Mayor of Daanbantayan for the duration of the trial. It is believed the court will most likely grant this request, as this is an administrative related case involving Daanbantayan council records & employees, over which Malou has control in her position as Mayor.

The case & charges against Malou appear strong, & ample evidence exists as the prosecution has in their possession original council records that relate to the alleged wrongdoings carried out by Malou. It is believed there are three charges & as each of these comes under the Philippine graft code, then if found guilty on even one charge, Malou faces permanent dismissal from her government role as Mayor, & furthermore would never be able to hold a government job again, not even as a lowly clerk.

This case could be the beginnings of the downfall of the Loot family reign over Daanbantayan, a town where Malou refers to herself as the King.

A final verdict is expected in November 2012, well before the pre-election cut off date for legal action in February 2013.

Malou bribes official for Agujo site development approval to allow quick sale to overseas investors - 15 September 2012This article was originally published elsewhere & is republished here for the information of our readers

This article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of
Daanbantayan. The allegations are based on confidential information received
from reliable and credible sources, which cannot be named for security reasons.
Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions about the merits of these
allegations. This article is published to expose the allegedly fraudulent
activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true character of the
leader they elected.

Following recent revelations about corrupt aspects of her development plans for
Malapascua & Maya in Daanbantayan, which have stopped Malou from proceeding
with those plans, Malou has in desperation turned her attention to a scheme she
is emotionally attached to, & this is the development of a large scale
condominium type tourist resort accommodation on the beachfront at Agujo.

Malou already owns a small resort there, and further along
the beach Mariquita Yeung owns a larger up market resort. Both these are 10 and
nearly 20 years old respectively, and certainly due for a major update at
least. So rather than update, there is a plan to sell up for a big time
development project, based on a bogus and fictitious development approval,
which has been obtained by Malou Loot using bribery.

In order to quickly bring this project to a stage where she
can sell a fully approved development package to foreign investors &
developers, Malou has done a very corrupt action.

Malou has bypassed all the normal development application
and approval processes in the council, and gone straight to the final approving
authority. She has bribed this person to approve her development plans without
the council having assessed or discussed the proposed development. Malou has
done this so she can sell a complete “ready to start building” project with
development approval, so all the purchaser has to do is pay their money to her
and start building. She plans to sell this to overseas investors &
developers who she already has lined up. Malou is very concerned that something
may go wrong with the deal and is trying to line up a third buyer or
participant, just in case. She has planned an overseas trip in October to
finalise these financial dealings, cleverly disguised as a trip to Rome to
witness the canonization of a Filipino Saint.

Malou is very keen to make a sale of land in Daanbantayan
and to profiteer by illegally obtaining the land of other people. There are
questionable and allegedly illegal practices involved in obtaining other nearby
parcels of land required in order for the development to proceed. Intimidation,
thuggery & plain brute force “sign or else” tactics will and are being used
with the assistance and advice of her husband General Vic Loot. “Just force
them to sign over the land and their rights”, Vic has advised Malou.

Malou is desperately short of cash and needs to build up her
funds for the election in 2013, so she has large amounts of ready cash to buy
herself a successful election outcome, a win by bribery. It is essential for
her to sell this property to rake in the cash to fund her future corrupt
political plans. There are tens of millions of pesos profit in this deal for
Malou, perhaps even reaching to 100 million pesos or more.

There are numerous things wrong with the development
application or proposition, namely incorrect zoning for the purposes she
intends, there are also issues with insufficient infrastructure to support such
a large resort eg water suppliers, sanitary and garbage disposal, and also that
some of the development is to be built on land that has been polluted by
dumping of toxic chemicals.

Most importantly there has been no development approval
process, no discussion by councillors regarding the merits or appropriateness
of the development, and there are no grounds currently existing for this
proposal to be instantly approved.

The development approval Malou acquired by bribery, is
simply a “rubber stamping” of her plans, by the last person in the chain, who
was bribed big money to commit this fraud and approve and stamp Malou’s plans
without questioning the procedure or requiring the correct procedures to have
been followed. This person was offered a smaller bribe to commit a much smaller
fraudulent act, but Malou waved a huge stack of money under his nose, twenty
times that she was offering for the smaller “job”, and said he would get the
lot if he approved her plans with his “rubber stamp”, no questions asked. He
succumbed to the big money and stamped her plans as approved, even though they
were never examined or discussed etc.

Malou has also acted secretly to cover up her involvement of
interest in this project, by selling or transferring her ownership to another
person, so it appears that she personally is not involved as an owner in this
project, and therefore cannot be accused of having vested interests when
ensuring that it goes ahead. Also the plans that she had “rubber stamp”
approved, are in a different persons name, again so she cannot be accused of
being the person who has committed a fraud by bribing an official to approve
the plans without having undergone the proper and regular approval process.
Malou has realised from earlier stories published on the Internet about her
corrupt development plans for Malapascua & Maya, to be very careful to
disassociate herself from developments or fraudulent actions, but nonetheless
this latest fraudulent action is of her own doing.

Malou has secreted the plans away in a safe deposit box in a
large vault, believed to be a bank vault, so that no one can gain knowledge of
her plans. She has done this so the whole project can be sold to overseas
investors & developers and the whole deal completed without anyone in
Daanbantayan even knowing about it.

In her political capacity as Mayor, Malou plans to assist
the developers with all the required permits and approvals so that the whole
project will run smoothly and be fully implemented without objections from
council officials etc. She will make lot’s of money also by bribes paid to her
to facilitate the various steps in the building works & issue necessary permits
etc associated with this very large project.

People of Daanbantayan wake up, you are being hoodwinked by
Malou again, she is doing this to fill her own pocket with money, with the
express purpose of funding yet another corrupt election campaign where she
intends to buy peoples votes using cash, fear and intimidation. This
development project in Agujo beach is the start of her election campaign for
May 2013.

The questions to ask are so simple. Where is the development
planning & discussion process ? Where are the committee meetings of the
people who assess this project ? Where is the required zoning to allow this
type of large scale commercial hotel resort accommodation development ?

It is assumed that Malou intends to put all these matters
into place at a later date by the creation of fraudulent and fake documentation
that will make it appear the development application underwent proper
assessment etc. Search the records now and see if there is a development
application yet issued, the records may or may not show any development as
being approved in Agujo. No doubt Malou will force something through either
sooner or later, as she has already sold or nearly sold the project, so the
real & legal approval will have to be obtained somehow.

The plans show futuristic and modern condominiums or
apartments stagged back at the front all along this large stretch of beachfront
land at Agujo looking out at the sea, possibly involving dozens of units.
Nearby there will be some shops to service the tourists and close by only a
short distance inland will be the revamped and upgraded Daanbantayan airport.
Parties believed to be involved in thjs development are Mariquita Yeung, and
posssibly Benhur Salimbangon who has been providing political support and
promotiong various of Malou’s projects with officials in Manila and elsewhere
& liaising with overseas dignatories & investors.

It may be that Malou plans for the bulldozers and cement
trucks & cranes to arrive suddenly one day in Agujo and start work on the
site, much to everyones surprise and shock, as they knew nothing of any
development project for the area, it having been kept a closely guarded secret
by Malou. That way the building works would already be happening before anyone
knew anything about the development & building plans. It would be a “fait
accompli” in Malou’s mind, something that was too late for anyone to stop.

Governor Gwen Garcia, DILG authorities, even the President
of the Philippines, we the people of Daanbantayan need your help now. Malou is
poised to rip off the people big time in one way or another and make much
personal wealth & profit, based on a bogus and illegitimate & illegal
development approval that she has bribed a government official to issue.

Please
help us immediately, for we are little people who are poor and too lowly to
challenge Malou Loot either physically or in the courts. She has control of the
police force to trample our demonstrations and objections, & she has much
money (over 100 million pesos in the last SALN) to beat us with legal
challenges. Without the assistance of our government leaders who are above
reproach & above corruption, the people of Daanbantayan do not stand a
chance against this evil scheming woman, Mayor Malou Loot. She has made a
mockery of the law manipulating it with bribery to achieve whatever she wants,
even if it is illegal.

Malou lamblasts Vic & his whore wife over health leak story - 13 September 2012This article originally appeared on another site but is republished here for the information of our readers

This article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of
Daanbantayan, Cebu. The allegations are based on confidential information
received from reliable and credible sources acting legally, which cannot be
named for security reasons. Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions
about the merits of these allegations. This article is published to expose the
allegedly fraudulent activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true
character of the leader they elected.

A recently published article titled Malou Loot Health Update
– 16 August 2012, broke the news that Malou had undergone a Laparoscopy of her
lower abdomen, and the results of that investigative operation indicated she
needed a Hysterectomy. As a result of this article Malou was extremely angry
that her private health situation had become public knowledge.

Malou was so furious after having been informed of the
article. Apparently Malou has someone watching the various websites and
Facebook pages, as she is so paranoid about anything appearing in writing about
her and her activities and dislikes immensely people talking about her behind
her back. Her ego is just so huge. She wants to know immediately something is
published & has people monitoring the sites at all times. One of her main
reasons for this “monitoring”, is so she can get on the phone and order &
pay one of her black magician contacts to hurt, harm, make sick or attempt to
kill the author(s) who have written the article. She does not really know who
the people are who are writing the articles published on various Internet
sites, but the black magician has an ability to “supposedly” target the author
or authors and send them bad energy. So Malou is always attacking her perceived
Internet opponents via the black magician, whenever any articles are written.

In this case she also immediately contacted Vic Loot by
phone. In her opinion she knew the only person who could have told anyone about
her medical condition and medical operations was Vic Loot himself. The
conversation was overheard. Malou was so loud on the phone it was easy to hear
what she was saying. Even Vic answered back strongly and his words were also
overheard. She was so furious & angry that people would know about her ill
health as she had been covering up her illnesses, particularly the cancer she
has. Without hesitation she accused Vic of telling people, and the information
had then leaked from these people to her opponents and those responsible for
publishing news on the web sites.

Vic denied all the allegations. “I told no one”, he shouted
back at Malou. “You must have told someone, how else would they (her opponents)
know”, Malou screamed back at Vic. “No I did not tell anyone”, Vic shouted. He
was quite surprised and taken aback by Malou’s tirade at him.

Malou continues screaming into the phone, “Well if you did
not tell anyone then it must have been that whore of a wife you are sleeping
with (in Samar). You have been talking to her in the bed or while you are
asleep, and she is the one who has told someone else, you stupid idiot. You
should keep your mouth shut when you are in bed with that whore”. Malou was so
angry and furious at Vic as she believed he was the source who had leaked the
news about her Laparoscopy and plannedHysterectomy,

“You and that whore, tell her to keep her mouth shut, and
you Vic had better stop talking too much in bed with her”, Malou continued on
incessantly.

It has been previously published that Vic allegedly married
a young Thai girl on one of his secret overseas trips, while supposedly
attending military conferences overseas. Vic has also purchased a small resort
south of Bangkok in Thailand with money he skimmed off larger amounts obtained
from Malou on the grounds of needing more cash to pay contacts in Cebu City to
keep quite and pay for favours. Vic planned to leave Malou when he retires and
live a pleasant life in Thailand with his young teenage bride who is now about
25 yrs old, with whom he has a small child, a boy who is now about 8 or 9 years
of age. Vic secretly told a close friend before his death, that he had married
a Thai girl and that he intended to leave Malou, he said there is no way I
would stay with that old cow in my old age. He said he hated Malou’s guts and
the sight of her disgusts him, & the sound of her whinging & moaning
and barking orders at him all the time is too much to bear. Vic had had enough
of Malou and found a young bride to have a more pleasant life with. This friend
passed on this information before dying, so that’s how this precious secret of
Vic’s is known about. More recent news indicates that Vic has brought his Thai
wife closer to his location in Samar so he can see her more often. With the
various investigations being conducted by authorities over the last few years
going on around him & Malou, he was unable to secretly go back to Thailand
to see his young wife, so he had her move closer to him, so as to avoid raising
suspicions in her mind.

The question remains, who did tell someone about Malou’s
health problems, was it Vic, was it someone close to Malou, did Malou let it
slip out accidently, was it a medical person, was it a councillor or a
housemaid, was it Zenas Dublin, there are so many possibilities. Our sources
cannot be revealed.

Well not only do these actions by Malou reveal a lovers
tryst with Vic and a woman Malou refers to as his “whore wife”, but it also
implies that Malou & Vic’s marriage has irretrievably broken down. Malou is
simply unable to keep her man. Malou means nothing to Vic as a woman. Malou is
only a money making machine as far as Vic is concerned. There are other far
more attractive women that Vic prefers to be with and live with on Samar or
abroad.

Malou admitted in public at a council meeting that she was a
prostitute and had made lots ofmoney
from prostitution. It’s a shame that even with her obvious talents in the bed
she cannot even keep her own husband or man happy. He has wandered to someone
else better than Malou.

It
looks like Malou is a “has been” and is past her “use by “ date.

Malou allegedly bribes Sandiganbayan court official to adjourn case against her - 12 September 2012This article originally appeared on another site but is republished here for the information of our readers

This article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of
Daanbantayan, Cebu. The allegations are based on confidential information
received from reliable and credible sources acting legally, which cannot be
named for security reasons. Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions
about the merits of these allegations. This article is published to expose the
allegedly fraudulent activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true
character of the leader they elected.

In the second half of 2012, Malou was obliged to appear in
the Sandiganbayan (SB) court in Manila for an arraignment hearing and later for
a pre trial hearing, & on both days she did finally appear. For legal
reasons, no further specific case details will be mentioned.

Malou had apparently paid a bribe to an official to have the
matter postponed or adjourned to a later date, but instead the court set many
dates on which the matter would be heard. Soon after these hearings, Malou was
talking on the phone to a person believed to be a SB court official.

Information has been received about what was said during
that phone call. The conversation has been re-written for clarity &
understanding, but the following is a true representation of the conversation
that took place.

Malou was very furious & angry & expressing her
severe annoyance in a very agitated manner over the outcome of the court
appearance.

Malou: You said this matter would be adjourned. I paid you a
lot of money to have this case adjourned, now look at the mess I am in.

SB court official: I tried but was not able to do it.

Malou: You said you would be able to get it adjourned, I
paid you and I get nothing for my money. You take my money but you do not do
what you promise me. You are just doing nothing for the money I pay you.

SB court official: Well I’m sorry, I tried to do it but was
not able to.

Malou: You just ripped me off for my money and gave me
nothing in return for what I paid you. I have been ripped off.

It seems that Malou’s money is no longer capable of buying
anyone & everything.

Since that time Malou has been very “on edge” &
agitated, and apparently is very very worried about the outcome of this case.
She is suffering nervous anxiety and tension and has been telling her
supporters that everything will be OK & that even if she is dismissed she
will still be in charge of Daanbantayan (Council) through her Vice Mayor, who
is her own political team member.

The SB has set a very definitive timetable for hearing this
matter, so Malou does indeed have a big reason to be worried. She had hoped to
delay this cased further with an adjournment, hoping to buy time to get
political support to have the matter delayed indefinitely or at least until the
May 2013 election cutoff period in February 2013 onwards, but was not
successful in her corrupt attempts.

It is also expected that when the court commences hearing
the case, that a preventative suspension order will be put in place against
her, and Malou will have to stand down as Mayor pending the outcome of the
hearing.

If the SB court finds her guilty on either of the charges
she faces, then Malou may be barred from holding any political office or
government position indefintely. She would also be sacked from holding the
position of Mayor of Daanbantayan, so it can be seen why Malou was so keen to
bribe officials to dismiss or delay this matter.

Malou allegedly bribes Supreme Court Judge to dismiss case against her - 11 September 2012This article is republished here for the information of our readers

This article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of
Daanbantayan, Cebu. The allegations are based on confidential information
received from reliable and credible sources acting legally, which cannot be
named for security reasons. Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions
about the merits of these allegations. This article is published to expose the
allegedly fraudulent activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true
character of the leader they elected.

In the first half of 2012, Malou lodged an application with
the Supreme Court (SC) to dismiss a legal case that had been brought against
her. For legal reasons, it is better that the specific case details are not
mentioned, readers can draw their own conclusions.

The SC reviewed that request & a determination in the
matter was made in mid 2012, which resulted in the objections submitted by
Malou being overruled.

Soon after that determination was made, Malou was talking on
the phone to a person believed to be a Supreme Court Judge. Malou had
apparently paid a huge bribe to the Judge to persuade the other Judges to have
the case against her dismissed for lack of merit.

Information has been received about what both parties
involved said. The conversation is reproduced below, & while having been
translated, abbreviated & rephrased for clarity & understanding, it
nonetheless is still a true representation of the conversation that took place
and goes like this.

Note that Malou was furious during this conversation &
was expressing herself in a very angry & agitated manner.

Malou: You said this matter was a sure thing that it would
be dismissed

SC Judge/Official: Yes but I could not persuade the other
four (other four Judges) to see my point of view, they felt the evidence
against you is so strong.

Malou: I paid you big money to make sure this case would be
dismissed and that my legal objections would be upheld, you promised me it
would be OK.

SC Judge/Official: I tried but the others would not see it
my way. They said it was too obvious, there is just too much evidence against
you, what else could I do.

Malou: But I paid you and you guaranteed it would happen.
You have double crossed me, how dare you double cross me. You took my money on
false pretences. I paid you and now you have ripped me off by not providing me
with the result I paid for.

SC Judge/Official: Well there was nothing else I could do.

Malou: You double crosser. You took my money and I got
nothing for it. I have been double crossed.

Since that time Malou has been very angry & agitated
& lamblasting just about everyone she passes by in the street or in the
municipio.

The matter has proceeded further and Malou looks to be in
serious trouble should the outcome of the related court case be unfavourable to
her.

Malou masterminds Ludoc escape plan, but is thwarted by authorities - 10 September 2012This article originally appeared on another site but is re-published here for the information of our readers

This article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of
Daanbantayan, Cebu. The allegations are based on confidential information
received from reliable and credible sources acting legally, which cannot be
named for security reasons. Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions
about the merits of these allegations. This article is published to expose the
allegedly fraudulent activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true
character of the leader they elected.

In mid 2012, Cebu City gaol authorities uncovered a daring
escape plan by Moises Ludoc. The escape plan was masterminded by Malou Loot
& used contacts inside the gaol that had been bribed, & people
associated with Vic Loot. Malou used a male go between to cover up her direct
involvement in the plan, so she could not be charged over the matter. He
carried the money from Malou to another person in the gaol. Prison guards were
implicated in the matter and have been dealt with by authorities. The plan was
to be carried out under the cover of the 2012 Independence Day celebrations in
Cebu City, when the attention of people was focussed on the parades &
celebrations. The escape plan was thwarted and Ludoc remains securely in gaol,
with great credit being due to the gaol authorities for his continued
incarceration.

Malou’s involvement in this escape plan goes back to before
the murder of Gogong Arrogante.

Malou Loot is believed by many to have allegedly ordered the
murder of Renerio (Gogong) Arrogante following a heated discussion in her
Poblacion residence in early 2008. Many people believe she is one of the
masterminds of Gogongs murder in March 2008 (along with her husband now General
Vic Loot). Gogong threatened to expose various illegal & corrupt plans of
Malou Loot, & in the opinion of Malou he had to be eradicated. These corrupt
development plans have been coming to the public attention over the last year
or two, and again in recent months.

A military man, Moises Ludoc was allegedly engaged by Vic
Loot to murder Gogong as he was known to be cool under pressure and a cold blooded
killer. Many local policemen and others had attempted to murder Gogong, but
when confronted with the happy & jovial Gogong, they did not have the guts
to pull out their gun & go ahead with the shooting. Funds for the murder
were allegedly provided by Malou Loot. Following Gogongs murder in March 2008,
Moises Ludoc was arrested in mid April 2008 by the NBI in a clever &
extended manhunt in Daanbantayan, where Ludoc had been hiding out under the
protection of the Loots in various safe houses.

Malou had promised Ludoc that he would get away easily from
the murder and did not expect the concerted effort by they NBI. So Malou had to
then promise Ludoc that she would “get him off” from the murder charges &
provide legal support to him. She was really more interested and motivated by
the need to “save her own neck”, so had no choice but to support Ludoc with
legal aid & provide ongoing financial support for his family. The
subsequent court case being held in Bogo City Court, has slowly dragged on for
over 4 years now, with many delays allegedly caused by Malou Loot who bribed
court officials & other high level government officials to delay the case,
anyone in fact she could use who was in a position to affect the process or
outcome of the court case. That was until a change of government and it became
much harder to manipulate the court & the judges. One judge told Malou that
there were too many people watching the case, and that the Australian
government was watching the case, so he was not able to throw the case and find
Ludoc not guilty. There was simply too much circumstantial evidence and very
strong eye witness testimony that clearly identified Ludoc as being the gunman.
Note that Gogong had dual Australian & Filipino citizenship, so the
Australian government have been continuously monitoring this case.

The only option really open to Malou was to delay the
matter, and she has regularly used the services of Atty Rey Caayon, the Clerk
of Bogo Court, who she bribes to interfere in various ways with the smooth
functioning of the court in this matter. It has also been learnt that Malou
even made judges and lawyers sick by the use of black magic, purely to delay
& disrupt progress of the case, so that hearing dates would be cancelled
due to the inability of the judge and lawyers to appear in court on scheduled
hearing days. She simply did not want any court verdict before the next
election in 2013 and before she implements her various personal money making
develoment plans in Daanbantayan.

Malou has also been funding Ludoc’s family while he has been
in gaol, providing cash to them on a regular basis, the idea being that if the
family are kept in reasonable comfort and not starving etc, then they will tell
Moises to keep his mouth shut and not turn against the Loots. Apparently Ludoc
has been very homesick and missing his family & missing seeing his young
children grow up. Ludoc is very concerned that he will not see his young boy
grow up into a man, as Ludoc realises that the court case against him is not
appearing favourable to him, and that he is likely to be found guilty and serve
a long gaol term, at least 20 years based on some other recent court verdicts
re killing of a Cebu lawyer by a Sumabong brother. Ludoc had been assured from
day one, that this would be an easy killing and that he could just walk away
from it and take his payment of P200,000 and live a good life, so Ludoc never
thought he would end up in gaol. He had the assurances of the Mayor of the town
Malou Loot and the support of a senior ranking police official, namely
Superintendent Vic Loot that he would get away free after committing the crime
of murder. Vic had even arranged with local Daanbantayan police officials, in
particular Police Chief Canlapan, to fabricate other evidence and fabricate
totally incorrect eye witness facial sketches of the murderer, who committed
the shooting in broad daylight, etc, so as to totally cover up the real
murderers identity. No one ever anticipated that the NBI would get involved and
that they would “catch their man”.

Nonetheless the case is “still hanging over Malou’s head”
and it is believed that one word from Ludoc could incriminate both Malou &
Vic in the murder of Gogong. Sources close to Malou have revealed she is very
worried about the outcome of the Ludoc trial, as it may affect her political
standing and affect her plans for various large scale developments in
Daanbantayan. If the Judge were to rule that Malou was somehow involved or
implicated in the murder and that she should be further investigated, then this
would be very damaging to her and more or less bring to a halt any political
credibility or “so called” popularity she has.

In order to once and for all remove all possibilities of
Ludoc turning against them or giving evidence that would incriminate them, and
to ensure that Ludoc and his family are reunited and kept happy, the Loots came
up with an escape plan for Moises Ludoc, to get him out of the Cebu gaol he had
been held in for over 4 years now, and to also relocate him and his family to
some far away distant place where they could never be found by the law.

This was the plan to have Ludoc escape from the Cebu City
gaol during the 2012 Independence Day celebrations, with assistance from bribed
gaol guards & other insiders. The whole plan cannot be revealed, but in
essence the guards were going to let him out of the front door late in the
evening, leaving enough evidence to suggest he had escaped of his own doing,
and at the same time as he escaped his family would leave Daanbantayan, never
to return.

The plan was discovered by authorities, and when Malou found
out that authorities were onto the plan, it was quickly cancelled. Word was
passed to Ludoc that the plan was not to go ahead, and that another attempt
would be made at a later date when the heat was off the current situation. So
Malou is currently waiting for another opportunity to have Ludoc escape from
the gaol. No doubt she is working on some part of her future plan now, starting
to make connections with & bribe corruptible individuals & authorities,
who can bring her plan to fruition.

Be careful Malou, people are watching & you will get
caught !

In the days following the foiled escape plan in early July
2012, Malou handed Vic large wads of money, in small notes so it could not be
easily traced, believed to total tens of thousands of pesos, and Vic was the
“trusted” courier who then arranged for Ludocs family to receive this cash. It
is believed this was a payment to keep the Ludoc family quiet, as they were led
to believe they would be moved out of town with Moises Ludoc to a new life in a
new location. They had to be paid off for their ongoing “suffering” of being
without their husband & father for the forseeable future.

It’s ironic how criminals and their associates & family members
think they are hard done by when the law catches up with them.

In this case they seem to conveniently ignore the suffering
of Gogongs family, his wife & four children, two of whom witnessed the
murder. It is alleged that Moises Ludoc murdered Gogong violently by shooting
him six times through the heart, head & neck with a 9mm handgun at point
blank range.

While it is sad that the Ludoc family is without their
husband & father, it is a result of Moises Ludoc choice to do the murder,
after having been led astray by the devilish Malou & Vic Loot, all for the
sake of money & greed.

It is even sadder though for the family of Gogong, whose
life should not have been taken by this murderer, he was an innocent victim of
the evil Malou Loot, he did not choose to do anything evil or corrupt, he was
only trying to do good for the townsfolk of Daanbantayan.

So many lives ruined by greed. This story will not have a
happy ending. Ludoc is still in gaol awaiting his fate. Malou is still awaiting
her fate too, which will be for sure at the hands of God, and possibly even
sooner at the hands of law enforcement authorities in the Philippines.

Malou Loot plans another land grab fraud in Maya - 16 August 2012This article was originally published elsewhere & is republished here for the information of our readers

This article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of Daanbantayan. The allegations are based on confidential information received from reliable and credible sources, which cannot be named for security reasons. Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions about the merits of these allegations. This article is published to expose the allegedly fraudulent activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true character of the leader they elected.

As part of her overall development plans for Daanbantayan, Malou also has a plan to develop a Marina complex with wharves and moorings for yachts and other water craft, as well as Tourist Resort accomodation both on the wharves and on the land, and shops to serve the tourists. Malou has been negotiating this development with interested parties in Manila at secret meetings held all through 2012 till the present and already has drawings prepared of the intended development, this being the reason why these details are available. She has overseas investors lined up who are from the countries of Palau, Japan and China, and has politicians from Manila & Cebu interested to back her proposals, based on the supposedly good benefits they will bring to Cebu & the country. Some of the investment companies are bogus, as they are just fronts for companies that are actually owned and backed by funds coming from Malou Loot herself. So Malou is pushing this project to primarily benefit herself as one of the main investors, albeit disguised as a foreign investment company. A number of large cash transactions have been made by Malou where cash has been transferred out of the Philippines to overseas bank accounts. She intends to avail of the use of corrupt political figures in the Palau government to turn a blind eye to the sources of these funds. Palau has adopted a policy of allowing offshore financial institutions/banking to operate in their country, which inherently makes it a target for criminal and money laundering activities. Malou's Japanese associates are involved with organised Asian crime gangs and some of the investment funds are proceeds of criminal activities associated with drug trafficking. The ultimate plan is to develop, promote and run a Casino on Malapascua Island to facilitate the laundering of money from crime activities, to be returned to the pockets of the "so called" investors as legitimate profits from the Casino business. The crux of the matter is that punters or gamblers who are actually associates of the organised crime gangs, will be deliberately loosing "dirty" money in the Casino, so therefore the Casino makes a large profit, which then goes back to the investors (the criminals and Malou) as legitimately earned income. This whole process generally speaking, is the definition of money laundering.

Malou has recently been thwarted twice in her attempts to start up underhanded developments by using fraudulent means. The first was the Elementary School site Shopping Mall project, where she had forged land titles to change the land dimensions and square meter areas, so that her development application would satisfy statutory requirements, and therefore be passed without question by her "rubber stamp" council. This ploy was discovered and revealed publicly and Malou's stated "sure thing" project suddenly fell through and never happened as the developers Gaisano & another consortium both pulled out, with rumours mentioned of them having been double crossed by Malou.

Another more recent attempt by Malou to acquire land on Malapascua Island was also exposed. Malou had been unable for some time to acquire the additional parcel of public land land needed to build a large Tourist resort & Casino complex on Malapascua, so she forged a land title based on the adjacent piece of land she did own, so that it included the additional piece of land she did not own. It was a relatively simple matter for her to forge the document on her computer, and she just changed the land dimensions on the forged Title to show her parcel of land was much bigger than it actually was. Malou then planned to split up the ownership of this larger parcel of land in smaller lots to her relatives and supporters so her ownership was disguised, and sometime later would then announce that a consortium of land owners had got together to propose that their land be developed, thus purporting to show that Malou was not involved and had no vested interest in the development. Again this matter was leaked and knowledge of it made public. Malou very quickly did not proceed with her plan, saying privately that she would come back to it later, when feasible.

This is the second serious attempt Malou has made to acquire by illegal means this parcel of public land on Malapascua Island. Approximately two years ago (late 2010) she was planning the same Casino/Resort complex, and was simply going to build a smaller version on paper, have that development application approved, and then swap the approved plans with another set of plans that showed the boundary line of the development site had been moved to include the desired piece of public land, and then issue that as the current approved plan. This plan was also uncovered when opponents obtained details of the amended plans and were able to reveal the fraud publicly. Malou also very quickly dropped that plan and did not proceed with it.

Malapascua was never mentioned again by Malou until recently (early 2012) when her "rubber stamp" council applied to regain control & management of Malapascua Island from the Province asking to nullify the Memorandum of Agreement that gave control to the Province. Malou was desperate to get the development going again on Malapascua because time was running out and the investors were getting impatient.

So not to be beaten by setbacks caused by her opponents, Malou has now turned her attention to the mainland based coastal components of her overall development plans for Daanbantayan which are in Maya, & in particular the Marina development, Tourist accomodation, shops & relocated RoRo port. To support this scheme, Malou ensured that the main road to Maya was upgraded and re-routed past land owned by her & other local investors in the project eg Mariquita Yeung. Malou is still trying to rob the rightful owners and steal the lands from them. Malou has tried to foreclose mortgages on these lands she wants in Maya, she has had Vic Loot put pressure on the landowners to sell their properties or suffer duress and hardship and harrassment by goons associated with the Loots, and even proposed a government takeover of the land she wanted by way of forced resumption of the land supposedly for government projects. These government projects are bogus and do not exist, but Malou believed she would be successfull in obtaining the land after sufficient coercion and intimidation was applied to the owners.

Malou is now getting desperate to obtain the land so she can tell the developers that they can start at least one part of the overall project for Daanbantayan, so she is now trying to directly steal these lands by again using forged documents. It is believed that she is creating a forged copy of a Tax Declaration for the land in question, based on her actual Tax Declaration for an adjacent piece of land she already does own. So she has a real copy of a Tax Declaration to use as a template from which she will create a forged copy, but in the process will change the land details to include the parcels of land she requires to satisfy development requirements in that area. The real owners have been reluctant to sell their lands as they have suspected Malou is up to dirty tricks again, there is also a dispute on some parcels of land regarding Malou's improper foreclosure of mortgages on loans made from her company Eigado Lending to the land owners. There are numerous inconsistencies and improper application of rules and requirements in the foreclosure process, where Malou has blatantly ignored the following of required procedures, and is simply grabbing the land from the real owners without allowing the provisions of the lending contract to be fulfilled by the land owners, which would normally entitle them to retrieve ownership of their lands upon making the required payments etc.

The reason for Malou needing to act quickly & desperately like this, is that she is now on a time deadline from the developers. They have been stalled by Malou for over a few years now and they have really had enough of waiting around for her to come up with the promised Land Titles to all the parcels of land they require for the developments to proceed. The developers now believe that Malou is double crossing them, as they have provided significant sums of money to Malou to assist her in obtaining & amalgamating these smaller parcels of land into one large parcel under one title, but Malou has spent this money on other personal matters, ie fighting elections, fighting legal challenges eg the Graft & Corruption case brought on her & Vic by the NBI, fighting the Ludoc case, fighting the Cosido case & numerous cases involving water systems and other matters, and funding of her very expensive medical costs for cancer treatment over the last 18 months since her bout of "near death causing" pneumonia in December 2010 etc.

Malou must come up with the title to at least one piece of land so that at least one development can be sold to the developers and that part of the project building works can be started in order to keep the developers happy and quiet.

As Malou has been unable to obtain the land by legitimate means or by negotiation or even by coercion from Loot goons & Vic Loot himself, Malou will now simply steal the land by forging the Tax Declaration document.

Malou plans to go to Cebu City and present the forged Tax Declaration (which being based on the date of her real land Tax Declaration and unique ID number, will appear real, but it is for a larger piece of land than what she actually owns), so therefore she can apply for the land title and obtain it almost immediately, for the much larger piece of land than that which she actually legitimately owns. This is therefore a legally issued land title, but is based upon a forged and illegal Tax Declaration, so the Land Title is really bogus. To someone who did not know how she obtained the Land Title it will appear to be a legally valid document.

This is nothing less than criminal fraud, forgery, theft and deception, and she is abusing the trust bestowed upon her by her position of power as Mayor.

Authorities please take notice, this woman is up to no good, she has bad intentions and her long range plans starting now and intended to be complete within two years, will bring much criminal activity to Cebu which will spread and take hold in the Philippines forever more, to the detriment of our children and their children for generations to come. Now is the time to act to stop this fraud and theft by deception, that is being carried out by an elected government representative, the Mayor of Daanbantayan, Cebu, Maria Louisa Loot. Note her election victories are also claimed to be the product of vote rigging, vote buying, voter manipulation & intimidation, bribery and corruption of voting officials in the polling booths and in the provincial center in Cebu City and in Manila, where high level officials were bribed to ensure the voting result was in her favour.

Would the Governor, Gwen Garcia & the DILG in Cebu and Manila please act now to stop the ongoing and seemingly never ending tirade of fraud that this woman continues to carry out against the people of Daanbantayan and Cebu. Despite a change of government at the Presidential level, Malou also still bribes and uses high level and high ranking officials in Manila to "get her out of trouble" when necessary, and has many legal challenges and matters dismisssed or put into abeyance for prolonged periods of time (eg years), so they never affect or impact upon her political position. This includes past Presidents and Military leaders eg Generals, and even a current Supreme Court Judge, as well as many lesser officials in all areas of government, legal and law enforcement agencies. The current President is slowly cleaning up these rotten officials, but there are still enough corrupt officials in powerful positions from whom Malou can continue to buy favours. Corruption is just so deeply entrenched in Philippine society and officials are still willing to accept large monetary bribes from Malou in return for favours. It will take many more years, maybe decades, to clean up & eradicate, meanwhile the likes of Malou Loot & Vic Loot escape prosecution for gross misdeeds to mankind.

The people of Daanbantayan ask God to intervene on their behalf and stop this evilness.Everyone please pray daily and ask God to heal Malou Loot of her evil ways. In your prayers ask God to enter into Malou's heart so that she is filled with goodness, compassion and a true desire to serve the people of Daanbantayan, rather than serve her own financial interests and well being. The people hand this matter over to God, and also ask God to enter into the hearts of the elected government officials to guide them to "do the right thing", and use their power to control corrupt politicians like Malou Loot.

Would everyone in Daanbantayan please pray daily to God and ask that Malou change her ways & serve the people instead of herself, and ask that the wealth of the land & seas which is rightfully the wealth of the people, stays with them to provide for their livelihood, sustenance and daily needs.

Malou Loot Development plans for Daanbantayan - 16 August 2012This article was originally published elsewhere & is republished here for the information of our readersThis article contains allegations about the activities of Mayor Malou Loot of Daanbantayan. The allegations are based on confidential information received from reliable and credible sources, which cannot be named for security reasons. Readers are advised to reach their own conclusions about the merits of these allegations. This article is published to expose the allegedly fraudulent activities of Mayor Malou Loot to show the people the true character of the leader they elected.

Malou Loot has many development plans pending for Daanbantayan that she has not been able to "get off the ground" thus far. A series of political mishaps, change of political leadership in the country, public exposure of her plans, murders gone wrong, ineffectiveness of other attempted murder plans of her opponents by conventional and black magic means, and even her own and her husband Vic's ill health, have delayed the implementation of her large scale development plans. Malou has even fell foul of her own plans to double cross developers and seek out the highest paying developer, which caused her to have two developers vying for the same project both pull out of the deal, namely the "sure thing" but "ill fated" Elementary School Shopping Mall project. There was also a deal to sell off land adjacent a cemetery to a developer, but this also "fell through" due to her inability to deliver the title to the parcel of land following the debacle that surrounded her forced closure of most of the cemeteries in Daanbantayan. Again ownership abnomalies were publicly exposed and the developer pulled out of the deal at the last minute. The cemetery closures were supposed to be a "cover" for Malou to falsely obtain land, which she then onsold to a developer.

The main components of her large scale development plans for Daanbantayan involve a Club Med style Tourist & Casino Resort on Malapascua Island. This is the "crown jewel" in her development plans, but there are other mainland based components to form part of the whole development scheme to create the infrastructure to support the Malapascua Resort.

The other main component is a relocated RoRo port, in the Maya area, but in a different location than currently proposed or approved for the RoRo port. This development is also believed to include a large Marina with wharves and moorings for yachts and water craft of all descriptions. Part of this Marina development is also a mainland based Tourist Hotel accomodation and large shopping center. Some accomodation is to be built out over the water on the wharf structures and some on the land.

Other projects in the Bateria area have been put on hold, following Malou's inability to obtain and amalgamate smaller parcels of land into a larger lot. One plan touted is a fishing port & fish processing plant, but locals caught on to the development plans and were unwilling to sell their lands for a low price. They realised the price Malou & her associates was offering them was low compared to the value of a development site. There are also rumours and claims of inappropriate transfers of land titles and land ownerships, whereby Malou was effectively stealing land from owners who did not have the financial ability to fight Malou in the courts over their land. For the time being projects in Bateria are on hold.

There were also activities around lands along the Daanbantayan creek in Poblacion. The Loots own some parcels of land in the area, and have been actively trying to buy or obtain for a price below market value, various other parcels of land along the creek. Pressure has been applied to landowners to sell up cheaply for various reasons. Malou even has her eyes on land owned by people that was previously the subject of court action to determine the rightful owners, ie legal action carried out by previous Daanbantayan councils. Malou plans to grab ownership from existing owners by again mounting a legal challenge in the courts, and this is for property that the court has already decided who the legal owner is, ie the actual landowner in question and not Malou or the council. Malou has also put pressure on shop owners and driven away renters to force owners to sell up cheaply. She coerces shopkeepers to rent properties that she owns, in order to create financial difficulties for other property owners with empty shops not earning rents. Malou has had other persons acting secretly on her behalf try to buy properties along the creek, to disguise her involvement as the real purchaser, as there would be no way that certain owners would ever sell directly to the Loot's. Malou really wants all the land alongside both sides of the creek so she can do some serious town market developments etc, and make a lot of profit by selling the cheaply acquired lands to the council for a high price as a development site. It seems that these plans may be in the "too hard" basket at present and Malou is trying other ways to develop and profiteer in Daanbantayan. You could say she has "met her match" in Poblacion as most of the residents there do not support Malou Loot.

Another main component is a Hotel/Apartment.Condominium project in the Agoho area, facing the waterfront beach, with a nearby shopping center as part of the complex. This particular project is believed to connect directly with the new airport, that has been talked about for many years now by Benhur Salimbangon. The purpose of requiring the enhanced, enlarged and modernised airport facilities is to fly in tourists and gamblers to attend the Resort & Casino on Malapascua. Part of the planned customer base for the Casino are big time Asian gamblers from nearby Asian countries, but also people affiliated with Asian crime who come to the Casino to "launder dirty money", ie proceeds from crime. Some problems with this area are ground toxicity & poor water quality, caused by illegally dumped rubbish & chemicals which Malou allowed to happen for payment (bribe), without regard to the consequences of pollution to the area.

Other parties involved in this are Benhur Salimbangon and Mariquita Yeung, who are either offering political support and promotion and/or have land ownership in the areas of the proposed developments that will form part of the land parcel required. They may not be aware of the underhanded dealings Malou plans for these developments, so she is also double crossing them for her own personal financial benefit.

One of the issues confronting these large scale development plans, is a lack of suitable basic infrastructure to support the number of people who will use these new facilities. Herein lies one reason why Malou Loot has been trying, desperately and at times quite overbearingly and allegedly illegally, to obtain the smaller Barangays water system works. She needs to combine all the water systems in Daanbantayan and combine their total water availability, so that the water can be piped to these high end tourist resorts. The water is needed to satisfy the big use demands that washing, showering, cleaning as well as toilet flushing activties of tourists and gamblers will generate. The problem is that the water supplies are barely enough to provide water for existing local use.

Furthermore Malou has caused various projects on Malapascua to be delayed, projects for a small tourist resort backed by the Provincial government should have been completed a few years ago, as long ago as 2008, but Malou has delayed these by various means so as not to compete with her private future planned resort & casino. Also the RoRo port at the officially authorised location in Maya has also been delayed by Malou, this was reported in the press by a provincial official, that Malou Loot herself was responsible for causing the delays that have prevented the new RoRo port at Maya from being built, again as long ago as 2008.

It is now clear that all these delays have been deliberate actions by Malou Loot so as to allow her versions of these projects to go ahead at a time of her choosing & in a location of her choosing. Her choices will be different to the officially sanctioned versions, as she will by then have illegally obtained land where these projects will be built, for the reasons of economic benefit to herself & her associates, particularly those with connections to organized crime.

She claims or will claim to not have any financial interest in these projects, but in fact there will be many funds invested into these projects which have come from her own pocket, disguised by being touted as funds belonging to foreign investment companies, but these are companies that she has set up in other names using funds that have been "illegally or inappropriately moved out of the Philippines" into off shore bank accounts.

Malou will try to convince the general public of the benefit these development projects will have to the people of Daanbantayan, but most of the benefit will return to her or her associates as profit on the money she & they put into the offshore investment companies. One such country being used to channel these funds is Palau, where corruption is rife, even in high ranking government officials.

Furthermore, other funds will come from Asian crime gangs with whom Malou has had some association during her time living in Japan. These criminals plan to money launder funds from drugs and crime through the Casino that is built on Malapascua Island, thus turning illegally earned monies into legitimately earned income from the Casino, ie the criminally associated gamblers will deliberately loose "dirty" money while gambling, as the gamblers are really front men for the criminals, and as the Casino will make vast profits from the gambling losses, then these profits become legitimate income.

The Philippine Government Anti Graft & Crime Division really needs to look into the intentions of Malou Loot, as the creation of this Casino will open Cebu to the influx of much illegal money, and also the ongoing effects of criminals who are intent at getting what they want at the cost of the local people.

Supposed income from even building these projects by employing local builders, will not eventuate as the workers will be brought in from overseas eg from China and other parts of Asia, who will build more cheaply and quickly than the local Filipinos workers can.

Malou plans any time now, maybe even this week or certainly within the month of August 2012, to start a Public Relations (PR) campaign telling the people about her planned development projects for Daanbantayan and all the good things it will bring to the local economy and how good it will be for the people etc etc. It is all a ploy to cover up and disguise where the real big money and benefits will go, that is straight into the pocket of Malou Loot herself via secret company structures and overseas bank accounts. This whole project or projects are about nothing more than Malou reaping huge profits from her "hidden" investments and working in cahoots with organised crime in south east asia to create a new Casino that can be used for money laundering, that is the whole and sole reason for these developments. So far Malou has been thwarted in getting the Malapascua Island scheme underway, so she is tackling the mainland component at Maya, and once people see a successful development there, then Malou hopes the people will be more tolerant and accepting of a big development happening on Malapascua. Remember some of the land for these projects is not owned by Malou so she plans to steal the land from both the public and other rightful land owners, by means of forged documentation and fraudulent actions. Malou seems to feel she has a right to simply take the land because she wants it. She does not even want to pay fair value or development value to the owners, she wants to steal the land rather than pay for it. Even in carrying out her fraudulent actions Malou is still a kuripot.

It is up to the people to decide whether Malou is telling the truth or not, and thus far Malou has a track record of not telling the truth and of being dishonest. There are so many court cases currently pending against her, including the case of improper dismissal of Cosido for which Malou is required to appear in Court in Manila next Thursday 23rd August 2012. The case against Malou is very strong & a guilty verdict could result in her dismissal as Mayor and her being barred from holding any government position ever again.

Also the NBI secretly investigated Malou & Vic for Graft & Corruption and found sufficient evidence to find them guilty of corrupt acts, which are all criminal charges. The secret undercover lifestyle investigation determined guilt in the eyes of the NBI based on the hard paper evidence they uncovered by looking at official records etc, and that evidence was found before Malou was able to stop them or tamper with the evidences. That case is still pending with the Ombudsman in Manila for 3 years now, but has been put on hold allegedly due to Malou having made a large payment (bribe) of millions of pesos to a leading barrister handling the case in the Ombudsmans office, to put the matter on hold indefinitely. Investigations uncovered this, and it was supported by advice from another leading barrister that it would take a payment (ie a bribe) of 8 million pesos to get that case moving again & into the court, a payment which is higher than what Malou paid to stop the case. Of course no payment was made because it is illegal to stoop to bribery like Malou does. The possibility was simply investigated and an answer was obtained, a rather incriminating answer too. So it is really just money that buys favours as far a Malou Loot is concerned. She will tell any number of lies and then pay people to get out of trouble.

The claims of fraudulent behaviour made in this article are not bogus, the money trail can be traced, the money transfers that Malou has made out of the Philippines can be traced, so any investigation will easily uncover the vested interests that Malou has in these development projects.

Malou Loot is trying to hoodwink the people of Daanbantayan with her false proposals and propositions about her development plans, and introduce asian crime syndicates into Cebu, where they will stay for generations to come. Do not believe Malou, as she will be telling lies about these developments and covering up and denying all personal financial involvement with the projects and denying any involvement with crime gangs and money laundering.

Remember the old adage when assessing Malou's proposals, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is not true".

Malou Loot Health Update - 16 August 2012This article was originally published elsewhere & is republished here for the information of our readers

Information obtained from a source very close to the Loot family has advised that Malou has recently undergone a surgical Laparoscopy of her lower abdomen, to investigate the causes of ongoing serious pain in her upper and lower abdomen. The doctors made a small incision in her navel, to allow the laparoscope to be inserted in order to examine the female reproductive organs, without requiring major surgery to do so.

From a gynecological perspective, diagnostic laparoscopy is used to inspect the outside of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, where there may be issues of female infertility or inflammation or even cancer of the reproductive organs.

Unfortunately for Malou, the diagnosis is not good, as she is required to have a further surgical operation to perform a hysterectomy.Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, and can be partial or complete. A complete removal will include the ovaries, where cancer of the ovaries exists or a serious threat or risk of cancer exists.

Hysterectomy is a major surgical procedure that has risks and benefits, and affects a woman's hormonal balance and overall health for the rest of her life. Because of this, hysterectomy is normally recommended as a last resort to remedy certain intractable uterine/reproductive system conditions.

Malou is scheduled to have this operation soon, or may already have done so by the time this article is published.

Despite all the above, Malou still insists she is not sick, and that all stories published so far about her supposed illnesses ie cancer, and now hysterectomy, are fictititous and lies, just designed to give her a bad name.

It can only be said that the only person telling lies is Malou, she is indeed very unwell, she has received chemotherapy for advanced lung & systemic cancer, and is now receiving ongoing post chemo palliative treatment, primarily consisting of white blood plasma to give her energy and reduce the symptoms of gross fatigue she regularly experiences. Now she has been diagnosed as requiring a hysterectomy, which is usually required due to serious inflammation or disease of the female reproductive organs.

Even in sickness Malou cannot be honest with her constituents. The reason for this is that she does not want to show weakness, she is very fearful of her opponents or even her own political team members taking over power, and taking away the Mayorship from her control. Malou does not really have the physical strength or fortitude to withstand a prolonged battle for leadership that may be carried out against her by her own team members or others.

She still has the regular bicycle riding sessions around the Barangays of Daanbantayan, to supposedly show the people that she is healthy and well, but it is easy to see a pattern to these bike riding sessions. She is only really strong enough to do this physical effort immediately after having received blood transfusion treatment, which appears to be on a monthly basis. So whenever she returns from an extended few day or longer period away from Daanbantayan, it is because she has been to the big city to have the white plasma transfusions needed to give her the energy to continue on. Malou can no longer sustain her own functional health without serious and continuous medical intervention and ongoing treatment. Without these advanced forms of medical treatment, she may have already died. Even Malou herself has admitted to those close to her that she only has 5 years maxmium lifetime left on this planet as the cancer will eventually kill her, and that's why she is pushing ahead now with her corrupt development plans. It's a case of now or never, as her physical strength & health will gradually deteriorate further to a point where she cannot do any work at which time her death will be imminent.

If ever there was a time for Malou's "opponents" to overthrow her, now is the time !

Malou Loot to control Freedom of Information in Daanbantayan & limit access to council records with secretly enacted legislation - Mayors approval needed to search records - 12 July 2012Malapascua Island land fraud involved behind the scenes & is catalyst for new legislation, intended to "cover up" forged land titles & illegal land transfers by Malou LootThis article was originally published on Facebook

This article contains serious allegations of forgery & illegal & fraudulent activity by the Mayor of Daanbantayan, Maria Louisa Loot. The allegations in this article are based on information obtained from credible sources. These sources cannot be revealed publicly due to the possibility of retaliation by Malou Loot or persons associated with her. The information is believed to be accurate, otherwise it would not be published. Readers are encouraged to reach their own conclusions about the veracity of the claims. This article is published in the best interests of the people of Daanbantayan to keep them informed of issues in their town.

The Mayor of Daanbantayan, Malou Loot, plans to secretly & unilaterally enact legislation without consulting other councillors or officials, that will limit or severely control access to council records, particularly records involving land dealings, land titles and land ownership. Malou plans to rush this legislation through without anyone even knowing she has done it, as she considers this a form of operational procedures for council staff and therefore within her rights to enact.

This legislation will force requests to access council records to be submitted to the Mayors office for approval, & Malou herself will review the requests, and decide to grant or deny access. The ability to obtain details from council records by general application or under Freedom of Information laws, will be severely hindered by this new legislation, in effect Freedom of Information in Daanbantayan will no longer be a public right as it will be subject to Malou Loot's decision.

It is believed the intent of this new legislation is for Malou to generally disallow access to council records involving illegal land dealings that she wishes to cover up, so her opponents do not get proof of fraudulent dealings that she intends to do or has already done.Ultimately if Malou does not approve a persons request then they will not be able to review land titles and land ownership records etc. This is a very undemocratic decision and designed to hamper and hinder the general publics ability to review council records under Freedom of Information laws. In effect Malou will nullify any rights that citizens have to obtain information under Freedom of Information laws. Malou is acting like a dictator in making this law.

Malou plans to implement this legislation any time now, she may even be already preparing the documents for signing & approval by herself. It is believed she will do this when she returns from Manila after receiving white blood cell transfusions as part of ongoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. This treatment reduces her nausea & fatigue, so she will be “full of energy” to process & force through this legislative change, and to also carry out other planned land and property manipulations under the protective cover of this new "anti information" law.

The legislation will be put into law by herself without any involvement or approval of councillors or government officials, with no discussions about this change, and will be signed off by herself immediately, therefore becoming law without anybody even knowing what she has done. Suddenly one day in the future, when people try to access council records, they will discover what she has done, but it will be too late to do anything about it then.

The end result is that Malou herself will have the final say on who can access information and records about land dealings and land title changes, especially those relating to land that Malou or Malou’s relatives & supporters own on the mainland and on Malapascua Island.

This legislative change is part of a larger illegal scheme that Malu has planned to defraud the people of Daanbantayan. She wants to steal a parcel of public land on Malapascua Island by making it legally appear as if she, her relatives or her supporters own the land. There is a piece of land she already legally owns, & next to that there is a piece of public land that she desperately requires in order to go ahead with a development plan to build a Resort & Casino on Malapascua Island. She has previously tried to amalgamate her parcel of land and the public parcel of land into one parcel under one title, but has been refused use of this public land by government officials. So now she has come up with an idea to simply steal the land by forging land titles & subsequently manipulating public records, based on this fake land title.

This manipulation of land ownership has been carried out by using a forged (fake) land title that Malu herself has personally forged, by copying all the details from her real land title onto a near identical forged land title, but in the process she altered & overstated the land size & dimensions to include the adjacent piece of public land.

Using this forged land title for the now much larger piece of land, she will follow up by transferring the new larger parcel of land to her relatives and supporters in a number of small lots, thus attempting to disassociate herself from the property and make it difficult to trace previous legitimate or other ownership of the total land area, which now includes a piece of public land. At a later date these new landowners would amalgamate their lands to allow the Resort & Casino complex to be built. To any government official who later looks at the various land titles involved, including officials in Daanbantayan council & Land office, they would appear legitimate, & be processed as apparently legally acceptable documents for any Development Application.

We now know of course, that these land titles for the smaller parcels of land, are all based on a fake & forged land title for a “legally fictitious” larger parcel of land, part of which is still actually public land. Therefore all transactions involving that larger parcel of land are bogus, fraudulent, illegal and without legal merit.

Without going into further detail in this article, this forgery & fraud is the reason Malou is implementing the legislative change to prevent people viewing the council records of land holdings and land transfers etc in Daanbantayan, and particularly Malapascua. This legislation will allow her to control or limit access to pertinent records that she does not want anyone to see, as a proper investigation of historical ownership & dealings will uncover the fraud.

The perpetuation of this fraud needs to be stopped immediately, people of Daanbantayan, you should be in uproar now and object strongly to Malou and make your concerns heard loudly. Hopefully by exposing this fraud, Malou will have to back down from proceeding. No doubt she will deny any knowledge of this legislation or intended land fraud and claim this article is just propaganda, released by the “opposition” to try & discredit her by any means they can. Please be assured this is not unjustified propaganda. This is a real life exposee of serious fraud by the Mayor of Daanbantayan, Malou Loot, who is only intent on feeding her greed for personal wealth & money, at the expense of the people of Daanbantayan.

Malou’s strategy is to slowly & secretly implement changes to effectively make it “impossible” to undo what she has done, thus making her future proposed development schemes a "fait accompli" or have an irreversable outcome. Wait & see. One day Malou will start to make public announcements, as she is now getting desperate to make these projects happen, as her time in political power is rapidly coming to an end, and her physical health is deteriorating rapidly also. Thus she has a limited time frame in which to achieve her greedy goal of putting a Resort & Casino on Malapascua Island.

Malou, via her “rubber stamp” council, has recently laid claim to the control of Malapascua Island despite a Memorandum of Agreement being in place that gives Cebu Capitol control. So it is now apparent that Malou is “making her moves” and really wants to take charge of Malapascua to allow her own development plans to be approved & built, and will do whatever is necessary to “get her way”.

This is nothing less than premeditated FORGERY, FRAUD & DECEPTION and is a criminal offence.

Would authorities in Cebu City please do something about Malou Loot ! She treats Daanbantayan & the people of Daanbantayan like she is a dictator and they must bow to her every command. She is continuously rorting & cheating the system, simply because no one bothers to look at what she is doing and stop her before the event. Governor Gwen Garcia, please come on board and bring Malou Loot into line, DILG authorities in Manila please investigate Malou Loot, and stop her corrupt & illegal ways. The truth has been revealed so please do something about it for the sake of the people of Daanbantayan now and all future generations who will be afflicted by the scourge of evilness that Malou Loot wishes to inflict on this part of the Philippines. Thank you in anticipation. May God work wonders to stop this evil, pray everyone for God to exorcise the devil from Malou’s soul, so she works for the people rather than for herself.

Malou Loot health update - 12 July 2012This article was originally published on Facebook

This article contains information about the health status of the Mayor of Daanbantayan, Maria Louisa Loot, and allegations of illegal activity. This information has been obtained from credible sources that cannot be revealed publicly due to the possibility of retaliation by Malou Loot or persons associated with her. The information is believed to be accurate otherwise it would not be published. Readers are encouraged to reach their own conclusions about the veracity of the claims. The information is published here as a public service to the people of Daanbantayan who have a right to know about the health of the Mayor of their town, and her ability to perform her duties in an effective & productive manner, and have a right to be informed of corrupt & illegal activities the Mayor is involved in.

Despite continued denials by the Mayor of Daanbantayan, Malou Loot, she is seriously ill with lung cancer and other complications associated with the disease and caused by the treatment she is receiving, in particular aggressive chemotherapy.

It is believed she now receives ongoing treatment every month from a private medical clinic in Manila. She has had aggressive chemotherapy during most of 2011, which has seriously damaged her liver as well as left her in a very weakened physical, mental and emotional state. Her doctors have advised her to rest all the time, but Malou insists on working in her role as Mayor and also attending to her own private development projects & money making ventures. So Malou is not following her doctors advice, and the cancer is slowly taking over her system. At present she is not improving, she is not even holding steady, but instead there is a slow worsening of her health and the cancer is slowly creeping throughout her body. Malou is her own worst enemy, as she does not heed the medical advice given, despite having expensive treatments at private clinics paid for out of her own pocket. She is effectively undoing the good effects of the treatment by not allowing her body to rest, recuperate & restore a healthy & vital function free of cancer.

Malou is now believed to be receiving intravenous medication and blood supplements to reduce her nausea and fatigue, so she is boosting her energy levels artificially. Without this treatment she would not be able to be physically active, such as doing her publicity seeking bicycle riding sessions in different Barangays. This is a standard type of post chemo treatment protocol, but something only available from oncology (cancer) treatment clinics.One of the ingredients in her IV drip is white blood cells or white plasma, which is good for boosting the immune system. She has been having this follow up post chemotherapy treatment for the last few months, and following these treatment sessions her energy levels are improved, so she usually feels energised sufficiently to attend to her role as Mayor and other private business matters she wishes to pursue. After a while though the effects of this medicine “wear off”, thus the need for ongoing intravenous treatment at the specialized clinic.

The problem with this approach, is that while it appears to onlookers that Malou is full of energy & vitality, there are periods in between her public appearances where she is absolutely exhausted and sleeps and rests all day in bed. At times she has difficulty breathing, and has recurring lung congestion, coughs and a mild form of pneumonia. These symptoms are caused by the lung cancer “flaring up”. Malou hides these symptoms from the public and even her own councillors and associates, as she is very fearful of being undermined politically by either her opponents or even her own councillors who want to take over the reigns of the Municipality when she is weak. So for Malou it is critical that she does not show weakness, thus the massive public relations facade of bicycle riding sessions around Daanbantayan for the last 6 months to show people that “all is well “ with her.

In actual fact everything is far from well, Malou is barely holding on and only just getting through every day without collapsing and becoming violently ill. There are times when she clutches her stomach in pain, and suffers extreme nausea, both of which debilitate her totally, as well as suffering serious & gross fatigue regularly. At those times she has to stop all forms of activity, even doing light duty paperwork is too much for her to manage. She is hiding all this from people as she does not want to step down from her role as Mayor. Her ego and her greed & the potential to earn money from alleged illegal activities such as fishing, property deals etc and future large scale developments, using her influential position as Mayor, are factors that keep her going, despite medical advice to stop all work activities.

Malou is a very, very sick person, but simply will not admit it publicly. She knows within herself though, that the cancer will probably kill her sometime in the next year or two or three as it is simply not being fully eradicated using current treatments. Doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do. As her time on this earth is limited, she is now hurrying to push through plans to develop Malapascua Island & associated mainland infrastructure, while she still has some physical strength and political power to push these fraudulent & illegal plans through. Refer to other articles for more details of these plans. Malou still wants to hold on to the office of the Mayor for another term or two, her health allowing, so she can implement all her personal money making plans. She has been desirous of developing Malapascua for many years now, so she is trying to make this her last big “achievement” in life, albeit a very corrupt one.

Malou Loot holds secret meetings in Manila - 16 May 2012

Malou
Loot has been holding a number of planning & promotional meetings
with businessmen, politicians, project planners & designers in
Manila in recent months to develop strategies for her future political
aspirations, development projects & money making ventures.

The meetings & business activities are being held in Manila to stop her own people
from finding out the information being discussed & leaking it. She
believes one of her councilors in Daanbantayan has been leaking
information to the opposition, and she no longer trusts any of her close
associates in the town. The clandestine meetings in Manila have taken
place in the middle of the night with military personnel accompanying
her to these meetings, for protection & authority should problems
arise, and in an attempt to "cover her tracks".

Some of these
"trips" to Manila lasted for 2 weeks. Her "cover or modus operandi" was
that she was having treatment for her health problems at a specialized
spa & resort that uses alternative non-traditional therapies. While
it does appear she has been attending a health spa in regard to her
health problems and physical fatigue, her primary purpose for these
trips was to attend to a variety of underhanded business activities.

One of the activities was calling up favours from high ranking
politicians to gain entry to a major political party using the
unofficial "back door" approach. Malou had been kicked out of "One-Cebu"
party by Gov. Gwen Garcia, and has since had difficulty gaining
membership to other political parties in Cebu. Malou had already
approached Atty. Hilario "Jun-Jun" Davide, Cebu Liberal Party Provincial
Chairman, to assist her in gaining membership, but was told she must
get the approval of Celestino "Junnie" Martinez Jr, Mayor of Bogo City,
who also happens to be the "Liberal" Party Chairman in the 4th District
of Cebu. The Martinezes and the Loots are known political enemies, and
have been at odds for many years now. To most observers their political
bickering appears irreconcilable, so it was no surprise that "Junnie"
refused to approve Malou to become a member of the Liberal Party.

So having had her ego dented by expulsion from "One-Cebu" party, &
unable to join the Liberal party, Malou was keen to get membership of
another major political party. She desperately wanted to prove to her
former political ally, Gov Gwen Garcia, that she still has some
political strength & "connections", and after having been ousted
from the "One-Cebu" party, that she would still be able to easily gain
membership of another major party.

So Malou's secret trips to
Manila also involved discreet liaisons with Vice President Jejomar
Binay, purportedly arranging her membership to the "PDP-Laban" party.
Malou even announced during a political gathering, that Vice President
Binay would come to Daanbantayan and personally officiate over her and
her group's oath taking and induction ceremony as new members of the
Vice President's "PDP-Laban" party.

Unfortunately for Malou,
Gov Gwen Garcia had been designated by Vice President Binay, as Chairman
of the "PDP-Laban" party's Cebu Provincial Directorate. As Gwen &
Malou are known political enemies, then Malou's "back door approach"
misfired on her, as Gov. Garcia did not approve of Malou's membership
and the much bragged about oath taking ceremony did not take place.
Malou was extremely angry that her trickery had been circumvented. More
recently "PDP-Laban" and "One-Cebu" have forged an alliance, and Gov.
Garcia is one of the Senatorial bets for Vice Pres. Binay's party, in
the 2013 midterm elections.

While in Manila Malou also held
planning meetings for a new development project for Daanbantayan,
attended by herself, local & foreign investors, & politically
oriented supporters. The project is a "joint venture" with foreign
investors, & indications are that the funds come from a country
supporting offshore financial institutions & illegal money
laundering, & that the "apparently legitimate" investors are bogus.
It is a country where corrupt officials & politicians will turn a
blind eye if "generously rewarded". This project is just another
personal money making venture for Malou. Before making any public
announcement, Malou even wants to gain support from Gov. Gwen Garcia, to
push the project through, no matter how hard it would be when
considering they are publicly known political enemies. Malou will tout
the "so called" benefits to Cebu, while disguising the corrupt elements
as being legitimate. The project is in the advanced preliminary stage
& building plans & drawings etc have been been prepared by a
company in Manila, in an attempt to ensure secrecy.

Malou's
desire to gain membership of the "Liberal" party or the "PDP-Laban"
party, is not only related to the furtherance of her political career,
but also has a practical purpose. For the new development project to go
ahead, she needs a large parcel of land in Daanbantayan to be
rezoned for commercial use, for which it is not currently zoned. She
wants to "force" surrounding landholders to amalgamate their lands into
one parcel & support her project, & then they jointly lobby her
political party associates to have the land rezoned. These surrounding
landowners will be "coerced" by Malou's ever reliable henchman Vic Loot,
and they will be given only one option, support Malou or "suffer the
consequences". This approach is subject of course to Malou gaining
membership of the Liberal Party or PDP-Laban party, either of which is
questionable if not impossible, so she may be forced to try another
approach to have the land rezoned.

The information in this
article, whilst intended to be kept secret, has come from confidential
sources proven to be reliable. It is released in the public interest of
residents of Daanbantayan & Cebu.

Legislation making Palau an "offshore" financial center was passed by the Senate in 1998. In 2001, Palau passed its first bank regulation and anti-money laundering laws. The USA agreed to give Palau additional aid in January 2010.

Palau had rejected an earlier aid package of $156 million. The new aid package was for $250 million. President Toribiong asserted that the increase in aid was unrelated to Palau agreement to host the Uyghurs.

In November 2006, the Palau Saving Bank officially announced bankruptcy. On
December 13 of the same year the Palau Horizon reported that there
were a total of 641 depositors that had been affected by the event.
Among the 641 accounts, 398 held less than $5000 USD, with the
remainder ranging from $5000 to 2 million USD. On December 12, 79 of
the affected people received compensation, one was Taiwanese, while the
rest were Palauan, Filipino and US citizens. Mr. Toribiong said, "The
fund for the payout came from the balance of Palau government's loan
from Taiwan." From a total of $1 million USD, which originally was for
assisting Palau's development, there was $955,000 USD left at the time
of bankruptcy. For the $955 thousand, Toribiong requested the Taiwanese
government use it to repay its loans. Taiwan agreed to the request.
The compensation will start its paying to depositor, who held less than
$4,000 USD in the account.

The population of Palau is
approximately 21,000, of whom 70% are native Palauans, who are of mixed
Melanesian, Micronesian, and Austronesian descent. Many Palauans also
have some Asian ancestry, which is the result of intermarriage between
settlers and Palauans between the 19th and 20th centuries. Palauans
with mixed Japanese ancestry accounted for the largest group, and some
also had some Chinese or Korean ancestry. Filipinos form the second
largest ethnic group.

The official languages of Palau are Palauan
and English, except for two states (Sonsorol and Hatohobei) where the
local language, along with Palauan, is official. Japanese is also spoken
widely amongst older Palauans, and is an official language in the State
of Angaur. Tagalog is not official in Palau, but it is the fourth
largest spoken language.

The
Senate passed legislation making Palau an "offshore" financial center
in 1998. Opponents to the legislation voiced fears that the country
would become a haven for money launderers and other sorts of criminal
activity.

Loot supporters & some DB townspeople fooled by cover ups & pretence of decency- 1 December 2011This article was originally published on Facebook by LC & has been edited with grammatical corrections

It seems that many people in DB (Daanbantayan) who are Loot family supporters, or can only believe an official court verdict, are unable to identify evil from good, and truth from lies, the Loots have totally fooled them with their pretence or facade of decency. There is NOTHING decent about the Loots, I am so ashamed to be related to them. At least I'm doing something & trying to educate the people of DB to the TRUTH about the Loots, they have ruined so many peoples lives by their greed & evil actions. I really wish others would speak out about what they know, there are so many people who do know about the bad things the Loots have done, but are keeping quiet because they are scared of repercussions from Malou & Enting. The Loots control the courts by bribing Atty Caayon in Bogo, & buying corrupt politicians in Cebu City & Manila. At least Gov Gwen is now showing an interest to look into the wrongdoings of Malou, & they are discovering so many wrong things Malou has done. The Loots (especially Tiya Malou) control & kill people by using sorcerers & kulam, that's disgusting, & now Enting has started to use kulam. Now they both have terrible diseases, I'm just showing people of DB the connection between their behaviour & the result of the Wrath of God (or karma) that has struck them both down. God bless them both because they really need help to stop their evil ways.

Tiyo Enting (Uncle Vic Loot) is also using kulam (black magic or witchcraft) - 1 December 2011This article was originally published on Facebook by LC & has been edited with grammatical corrections

When Enting got sick with the prostate (ailment), he phoned a sorcerer to do kulam to people he thinks are doing magic on him to make him sick, that's what a bad person he is. He doesn't know for sure (if it is black magic or who is doing it), be believes what the sorcerer tells him, but the sorcerer just wants to earn more money doing kulam. Enting is not able to accept his disease is the wrath of God (that is punishing Vic) for all the bad things he has done. I have heard how many times he has humiliated people, now he is the one being humiliated by his own disgusting disease. That's why I told you all about his "smelly" medical condition (in a previous posting). It may be unpleasant to some Loot supporters, but it is true.

DAANBANTAYAN Mayor Ma. Luisa Loot may face administrative charges for allegedly ordering the closure of at least 25 cemeteries in the town. Cebu Provincial Legal Officer Marino Martinquilla said yesterday that the Capitol would file the charges against Loot before the Provincial Board. The move came after the Nov. 21 meeting with Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, officials of the Daanbanytayan Roman Catholic Church, Department of Health in Region 7, Commission on Human Rights in Region 7, Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO) and the complainants – parish priest of Sta. Rosa De Lima Parish Fr. John Jonah Orat and some residents of the town. Martinquilla, however, said that they still had to gather more affidavits of complainants who were affected by the closure order.

The complainants sent the letter of complaint to Garcia’s office prompting the governor to call last Monday’s meeting. The Cebu Provincial Legal Office sent a copy of the findings of the governor’s meeting to Loot last Tuesday. Loot allegedly ordered the closure of 25 cemeteries last month for violating the municipal ordinance in maintaining a cemetery in the town. The findings, however, showed that the closure is “illegal, null and void” in violation of Section 99 (b), in relation to Section 101 (c) of Presidential Decree No. 856 or otherwise known as The Code of Sanitation of the Philippines. It reiterated that the “power to close cemeteries belongs to the Regional Director of DOH and not to local governments whose actions relative thereto is subject to the approval of the DOH Regional Director.”

CEBU, Philippines - For closing around 25 cemeteries in her town, Daanbantayan Mayor Ma. Luisa Loot is facing an administrative investigation before the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Cebu where her son, Provincial Board Member Sun Shimura, sits as a member.

The owners, operators and administrators of the said cemeteries and some concerned sectors led by Rev. Fr. John Jonah Orat, parish priest of St. Rose of Lima Parish in Daanbantayan, recently aired their complaint to Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia. The group claimed that the closure is illegal, immoral and insensitive to the sentiments, beliefs and feelings of the faithful in the municipality.

Acting on the said complaints, Garcia called a meeting last Monday with officials of the Daanbantayan Roman Catholic Church, Department of Health, Commission on Human Rights and the Cebu Provincial Police Office. It was during the meeting that complainants manifested their intent to file appropriate actions against the officials of Daanbantayan which shall include the filing of the appropriate administrative complaint before the Cebu provincial board relative to the closure of said cemeteries which have greatly prejudiced their rights and interests. Capitol lawyers also informed Loot about the planned action in a letter dated November 22, 2011 which states all the findings of the meeting called by Garcia. It was also found out that the closure is in violation of The Code of Sanitation of the Philippines which provides that “the power to close cemeteries belongs to the regional director of the DOH and not the Local Government Unit whose actions relative thereto is subject to the approval of the DOH Secretary.”

However, Loot insisted her right being the local chief executive of the town and not just a puppet. “Unsa naman lang diay ta ani, tawo-tawo nalang ta,” Loot said. Loot hopes to get a fair investigation from the PB members and not be politicized. “Kung politika man ni, okey lang, hinaut ang provincial board dili unta magpagamit,” Loot further said.

During the meeting, the CPPO has agreed to maintain peace and order in the area and not to implement the closure of the said cemeteries nor assist in its implementation. The DOH-7 is now conducting a status inventory of all cemeteries in Daanbantayan and will recommend to the Governor appropriate actions relative thereto.

In a letter dated October 13, 2011, Loot directed Municipal Administrator Mamerto Rodrigo to cause the closure of some cemeteries in the municipality by virtue of her Notice of Closure Order dated October 2011. The closure order states that maintaining unauthorized cemeteries violate Section 4 of Municipal Ordinance 13-2003, which provides that all applicants that want to operate or establish cemeteries are required to secure the proper development permit and license to sell cemetery lots from the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board. Section 5 of the ordinance provides that burials shall be made only inside a duly licensed cemetery.

Investors to inspect Daanbantayan & Agoho Tourist Hotel/Airport development site, but Malu allegedly plans huge ripoff - 21 November 2011This article was originally published on Facebook

Malu Loot is allegedly planning a huge development in the Agoho beachfront area, consisting of a Tourist Resort Hotel & shops possibly linked to a new airport. As part of this process Malu is arranging anytime now for a special inspection of Daanbantayan & Agoho areas by a delegation & representatives from overseas investors, which will include local political figures who are also investors.

Allegedly Malu will claim a government sanctioned official land resumption order is in place which allows the Daanbantayan Council to resume the land for supposedly official government use. This is allegedly a lie because there will be no official use or no official land resumption program. The people will be intimidated into believing this. Once the land is under the control of the Council, Malu will be able to allegedly manipulate the sale of the land to the developers and by using corrupt dealings, she will allegedly personally pocket a huge amount of money (millions of pesos). Effectively she allegedly plans to steal the land from the rightful owners so that she can profiteer from the sale of the land to the developers.

There are many problems associated with this proposed development plan that effectively make the project illegal & unachievable, some of which are, improper ownership of the land by ripping off the people, inadequate infrastructure for water supply, sewerage & drainage requirements, incorrect land zoning for the proposed use, & the recent discovery of toxic waste materials illegally dumped in the area (allegedly sanctioned by Malu Loot for a fee). Malu wants to keep this plan secret because the value of the land will go up dramatically if landowners become aware of this project, and landowners will naturally demand a higher sale figure when approached by Malu Loot to sell or have their land resumed by the government.

There is soon to be a special inspection of Daanbantayan & Agoho area by a delegation & representatives from overseas investors, which will include local political figures who are also investors. The local political figures will assist the project through any political hurdles it may face. Those politicians or politically influential people have vested interests so they plan to force the project through, despite any real and valid objections that local people have. Malu allegedly plans to only show this delegation of investors the good points about Daanbantayan and cover up or hide any bad points or negative matters. She is very fearful that her opponents will somehow find out about this delegation and secretly inform them of the many bad "goings on" in Daanbantayan and of any problems with this particular development proposal. The investors have been led to believe it is all good and all above board, but Malu is allegedly planning so many dirty tricks that the investors do not know about, in order to make this project come to fruition. There is a very big profit in this for Malu and her local supporters. There is a consortium of foreign interests from Chinese/American/English speaking representatives with American dollar financial backing, so it is a very large consortium who want to develop the area, as there is also a significant profit in it for them.

People of Daanbantayan you have been warned, this is really just another huge ripoff against the current legal landowners.

MALU LOOT HEALTH UPDATE - Tiya Malou Loot admitted to hospital for more cancer treatment - 20 November 2011This article was originally published by LC on Facebook wall of Ang Parola sa Daanbantayan & is republished here.
The poster obviously has some connections with medical people &
the Loot family who are aware of Malu's health situation.

Dis is something dat happened around 29 October 2011, but I just got around to writing it now. My dear Tiya Malou was put in hospital at d same time dat Tiyo Vic Loot was in hospital for his prostate disease operation. Yes dey were both in different hospitals in Cebu City at d same time. Inday Malou had to undergo more therapy for d cancer she has. She was sitting in a big lounge type chair & had a intravenous drip in her arm. Dis apparently was d chemotherapy drugs dat she has to regularly hav for her lymphatic cancer. Apparently d cancer is spreading around her body & getting worse rather than getting better. There are more sites of d cancer appearing all d time. Dey even said it has gone into some of her bones. I'm really really concerned for my Tiya Malou. Her other very close friends are really worried about her, dey say she is so sick nearly all d time now, & are worried she is going to die from d spread of cancer.

I heard she has been complaining of more severe stomach pains, & dis apparently is d cancer spreading into her stomach area. There was even talk dat she had severe pains in her bowel and was undergoing bowel examination where dey stick tubes up her anus to examine d bowel. Dey say there was some cancer there also. Dis is very very bad news for Inday Malou. Now I realize why her close friends are so worried. I don't think she is gong to make it somehow, dis cancer disease has spread so much & I can see she is getting weaker all d time, despite pretending to people dat she is OK.

I even heard dat Tiya Malou was writing down orders for others to follow after her death, as she was even thinking herself dat she is going to die from dis disease. Dis is really sad dat I hav to tell u all dis news. I know dat Malou is trying to hide her illness & telling people dat there is nothing wrong with her, but it is so obvious to everyone in town who sees her, she looks very sick & very unwell. She is emotionally unstable nearly all d time now & always lamblasts everybody she sees, even people in d street get told off for just looking at her. She even had old photos of herself (taken when much younger) published in d town fiesta program so dat people would not see her unwell face. These r all signs of a person who is very very unwell, & not coping well with their disease. Maybe she has just got another "reality check" with d news dat Vic is sick too wid prostate cancer, so now she realizes dat both of their lives r "in d balance" so to speak, & subject to d will of God. Maybe dis is d "Wrath of God" striking dem both down for all d cruel things dey have done to people in dis town. I like dem both as my Tiya & Tiyo, but I can't help but think of all d bad things dat I know dey hav done to many different people in town, just so dey can get richer & richer. D greed has really taken over both of their lives, & now look what it has done, d karma of their actions has gone back to them as serious life threatening diseases. I don't think having all d money in d world is worth being so sick as dey both r now. Dis is really sad for both of them. God bless dem both, as I think dey r really going to need help from God.

VIC LOOT HEALTH UPDATE - Tiyo Enting (Vic Loot) hospitalized with prostate ailment - 20 November 2011This article was originally published by LC on the Facebook
Wall page of Ang Parola sa Daanbantayan & is republished here.The poster, LC, obviously has some connections with medical people & the Loot family who are aware of Vic's health situation.

Dis is from 27 October 2011. It is true dat my Tiyo Enting (yes dats Vic Loot) has been admitted to Perpetual Succour Hospital in Cebu City with a severe prostate ailment. Apparently Enting has been operated on for cancer of his prostate. He was not able to urinate & had to have a catheter inserted into his penis, he smelt of urine in his hospital bed, it was so very smelly. It's a big shame dis has happened to him, his manhood has been "damaged", he always wanted to show off & be a big man, now look what has happened to him, he has turned into an impotent wimp. Dat's wot my Tiya Malou calls him, an impotent idiot.

Dis is a mans disease, & we always knew dat Vic was a womanizer, as he liked to sleep around with so many young teenage girls. His sexual infidelity has got the better of him & brought on dis cancer disease of his prostate. I heard he has another girlfriend & she is disgusted with him & has dumped him mainly because of dis. So Tiya Malou is his wife, but I heard he had another secret Thai wife & a 7 yr old child, & also he has a local Filipina girlfriend. It seems like Tiyo Enting cannot get enough of women, but dis prostate disease has really stopped his sexual escapades now, as d Doctors hav said it will be many many months before he recovers physically from d operation, & in many cases d man is left impotent. Oh dear !

Worse than dat, d Doctors say d cancer might even spread as dey are not sure how successful dey hav been to get all d cancer out. Oh dear, it seems like both Vic & Malou have cancer now, what a surprise turn of events, it does seem like d wrath of God is hitting dem both for all d supposed bad things dey hav done to other people in DB town.

Former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has been arrested in her hospital room on electoral fraud charges in a high-profile tug of war set off by her attempts to leave the country ostensibly for medical treatment. Arroyo becomes the second ex-Philippine president to face trial, after her ousted predecessor Joseph Estrada was sentenced to life in prison for corruption and later pardoned by her.

Arroyo denies any wrongdoing and accuses the government of political persecution when it stopped her from leaving the Philippines for overseas medical treatment for a bone ailment. Gloria Arroyo wore a neck brace as she arrived at an airport in Manila for a flight to Hong Kong earlier this week, but was not allowed to leave the country. Gloria Arroyo wore a neck brace as she arrived at an airport in Manila for a flight to Hong Kong earlier this week, but was not allowed to leave the country.

Her lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, said on Friday the government had filed fabricated charges with "indecent haste". The Supreme Court earlier in the day upheld her right to travel, but a lower court where the formal charges were filed later issued an arrest warrant that effectively bars her from leaving. Arroyo, 64, has been recovering in a hospital since her failed attempt to leave the country on Tuesday, and Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said she will remain confined to her hospital room. "They are not going to, let's say, handcuff her and take her out of the room," de Lima said. "We will not object to hospital arrest." In a drama that has galvanised the Philippines, Arroyo, sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a head and neck brace, was turned back on Tuesday night from boarding a flight out of Manila. Authorities said she was still under investigation and might become a fugitive.

Her successor and staunch critic, President Benigno Aquino III, was overwhelmingly elected on promises to rid the Philippines of corruption and has said he wants to start with Arroyo. The former president sought help from the Supreme Court, which issued a temporary clearance for her to travel and reaffirmed it on Friday. But the government ignored the order, saying national interest and uncovering the truth were more important than an individual's right to travel. "It is our desire that truth and accountability prevail and that the Filipino people be given the justice they truly deserve," de Lima told reporters. "Justice has been served. It's very relieving," she said.

The election fraud charges filed on Friday by the Commission on Election carry a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison. Arroyo legal spokesman Raul Lambino said the case against her "is a high form of injustice". The charges stem from allegations that Arroyo conspired with officials to tamper with results of 2007 congressional polls to favour her candidates. She was accused of having direct knowledge of massive cheating in an autonomous Muslim region in the southern Philippines, the country's poorest and notoriously corrupt region, where ballot boxes are switched en masse and voters paid or threatened to abstain. A probe this year by the Senate Electoral Tribunal found an Arroyo ally, Miguel Zubiri, benefited from fake ballots. He resigned his Senate seat and made way for an opposition candidate. Two witnesses - an election supervisor and a former governor of the Muslim region - have alleged that Arroyo and her husband ordered election rigging to favour administration candidates such as Zubiri.

Also charged on Friday were ex-election supervisor Lintang Bedol, who is in government custody and wants to turn state witness, and Andal Ampatuan Sr., the former Muslim regional governor and patriarch of a powerful clan. Ampatuan, a former Arroyo ally, is on trial for allegedly ordering the 2009 massacre of 57 people, including 32 journalists and political opponents, in the country's worst political bloodbath. During her tumultuous nine-year presidency from 2001 to 2010, Arroyo ranked as the country's least popular leader and faced down several coup and impeachment attempts over corruption allegations. Her most serious crisis came a year after she was elected in 2004, when a wiretapped recording surfaced of her talking to an election official allegedly about securing a vote margin for herself. She later apologised but said she did nothing wrong.

After stepping down last year, Arroyo, 64, was elected to the House of Representatives and immediately faced at least half a dozen legal complaints, including allegations that she diverted state funds for her campaign effort and benefited from foreign contracts. The Justice Department is still investigating the other complaints. AP

(although this link appears to be broken at Oct 2011)This story which originally appeared in Cebu Daily newspaper in December 2007, is of significant interest now in October 2011, as whispers coming from DB suggest that this project is about to be relaunched. There are external/foreign investors interested in funding this project, and there are also local politically influential investors involved, who will assist to "get this project through" any political hurdles that may be experienced. Whispers allege there are serious problems with this project and there will be a "cover up" to make everything "look correct" to the investors.http://www.facebook.com/angparola.daanbantayan#!/notes/arturo-polo/relaunch-of-north-cebu-airstrip-to-spur-interest-in-malapascua-island/234005249989981North Cebu airstrip spurs interest in Malapascua Island - 20 December 2007CEBU CITY, Dec. 19 (PNA) - Work on the planned P30 million airstrip in Daanbantayan town in northern Cebu will start once the master plan for Cebu’s 4th district is completed. Rep. Benhur Salimbangon of the 4th district said he wanted the airstrip to complement the master plan of the district. The master plan will become the bible for development in the 4th district. Any development to sprout in the district has to jibe with it, otherwise it will not have a significant impact to the public, Salimbangon said. He said the Department of Tourism (DOT) is working on the master plan, which is expected to be finished by the first quarter of next year.

The airstrip in Daanbantayan has generated interest from some property developers to look at Malaspacua Island and its neighboring towns as potential sites for tourism-related investments. One of the developers is Cebu-based MSY Holdings Corp., which is building a P500 million six-star hotel in Barangay Agujo, Daanbantayan which is expected to be finished middle of next year. Other government agencies also supported the development of the airstrip. The DOT, the Department of Transportation and Communications and the Cebu provincial government pledged to help fund the project. The airstrip will be designed to accommodate chartered planes. Salimbangon said he was optimistic that the project would make Malapascua island more accessible to local and foreign tourists. Another development that will complement the positioning of Malapascua Island as a premier tourist destination is the construction of the roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) port in Maya which is targeted to be completed on April next year. After the RORO port in Maya, a similar RORO port will also be built in Malapascua so that it could accommodate the seacraft from Maya.

Daan Bantayan is the northernmost town of Cebu which is around 129 kilometers away from Cebu City. Malapascua Island is a 45-minute pump boat ride from Maya, Daanbantayan. Cebu’s 4th district is made up of Bogo City, the towns of Daanbantayan, Bantayan, Tabogon, Tabuelan, Sta. Fe, San Remigio and Madridejos. (PNA) Article source: Positive News Media

Can Malu Loot save her soul ?"Only by choosing God", say the people of Daanbantayan. "Choose between God or the Devil", they ask.Malu Loot said "nobody is above the law", except that she thinks she is ! Malu Loot is recently quoted as saying "...I want the laws to be followed by everybody. Nobody is above the law”.

How is it then Malu that you believe you can get away with allegedly murdering Gogong and many other of your opponents, and believe you can get away with four serious CRIMINAL Graft charges laid by the NBI. We know you allegedly pay people to delay the murder trial of Ludoc and allegedly use black magic to make the Judges, Lawyers & complainants sick, and that you have allegedly paid people millions of pesos to delay the Graft case in the Ombudsmans office.

Why are you above the law Malu ?We know you allegedly buy the votes of people in Daanbantayan at every election in order to win, and that you allegedly buy favours from Palace officials to delay election protest results so you can sit in office for the whole term. You are allegedly the worst offender at law breaking in the whole of Daanbantayan, as you have allegedly committed the most heinous crimes imaginable and are allegedly a serial repeat offender.

You are right to say "Nobody is above the law", as you will soon find out when the law comes knocking on your door to arrest you.God will also soon be knocking on your door and drag you screaming with vitriol to your Judgement Day. You cannot use money in Gods court, so you will not avoid his cross examination and verdict, which will undoubtedly be a few lifetimes in hell until you finally repent for your evil ways on this earth.

The cancer you have is eating away your life energy from the inside out, it is slowly but surely spreading through all corners of your body into every cell, into every organ & into your bones, so your doom is assured, it is just a matter of time. God has delivered his punishment or karma to you already, as evil begets evil. You cannot escape from this sickness, as it has been created by your actions and attitudes towards yourself & others, and it is now too late for medicine or a change of attitude to halt the physical spread of cancer.

Allegedly you are so full of resentment, so full of anger, so full of self righteousness, so egotistical, so full of pride, so full of hatred, so vindictive, so retaliatory, so revengeful, so lacking of compassion, so abusive of power, so greedy, so controlling & dominating of others, so unforgiving, so self centered, and only care about yourself instead of others. You have allegedly forcibly taken on the role of service to others in your capacity as Mayor, yet you allegedly have no understanding at all of what service to others even is. You allegedly see the Office of Mayor as being a service to yourself, to benefit yourself, to make a good life for yourself with total disregard of your duty to your constituents.

You are allegedly the most evil person in Daanbantayan, you are allegedly the lowest form of life, you are allegedly no better than a worm or insect, which is the opinion you allegedly hold of most people in Daanbantayan (your very constituents). Why is it that you are the richest Mayor in Cebu, yet there are so many people living at or below poverty in your Municipality, who do not know where their next meal will come from ? It is allegedly because you have put the wealth of the people into your own personal pocket (eg kickbacks from illegal fishing have plundered the oceans, so there are insufficient fish left to feed the local people, & many other indiscretions etc).

Malu, you have a lifetime of bad attitudes to deal with & correct, & there is such a short time in which you will still be alive to try to correct these. Unfortunately the Universal Laws of Manifestation created by God will most likely prevent you from being able to undo all the bad things you have done, while still alive in this lifetime. But you can start repenting now, you can start changing your attitude immediately, today.

Firstly find compassion within yourself for all those around you and demonstrate caring for them rather than abusing & harming them.Secondly start being a responsible leader and exercise the correct use of the position of power & authority you have, you must immediately stop abusing your office of power, you need to learn the responsible use of power.You are a human soul being, born from God just like all the rest of us, you are a spark of light that is a representation or a manifestation of God on this earth. You allegedly chose the path of evil, you became greedy and sought adulation and respect from others, but as you were incapable of earning that respect and adulation, you used your greed for money to enable you to force people to admire you and "do what you tell them".

Your forced adulation (upon others) is worthless to your soul, you know this, even your own family members hate you, so this pattern of behaviour has not really gained you the respect and adulation that you desired. Others in this town have truly earned respect by their honest actions and achievements, and real generosity that comes from their hearts as a true concern for their fellow human beings. This is the type of real respect that you want also. Your problem is you have allegedly never done anything honest and decent in your whole life, all you know is to cheat and lie, so you will never earn true respect from people (and never will either if you keep following this path of deceit).

In the eyes of God it is never too late, he is just waiting for you to turn towards the light, and do good towards your fellow mankind, to be kind and generous to them, to use power wisely to help all those around you. For it is through these actions that you will be adored by the people and respected by the people, but your actions must be honest and truthful, there can be no pretence or "partial implementation" about this. Give all your wealth to the people, give them everything you have stolen, use the Office of the Mayor to implement programs to empower the people and lift them out of poverty, let go of your greed, give everything to the people and you will for sure earn their honest respect and adulation. Remember that God is just waiting for you to turn to the light and do good deeds to all mankind over whom you have power and influence, he will scoop you up into his arms and forgive you, it is NEVER too late. The choice is yours Malu, you have a small and short window of opportunity left on this earth in which to do good for all the people of Daanbantayan. What are you going to do now ?

Remember Malu, you cannot take a single peso to heaven, but you can arrive there with dignity and self respect if you so choose. Of course your physical life on earth will dramatically change if you implement the changes suggested above, and you will have to tolerate those changes and any flow on effects they may have. Do not forget that you are doing this to "truly earn" the respect of the people, and to show God that you have learnt the biggest lesson of your whole life, and undoubtedly the lesson you were given the opportunity to learn throughout this incarnation on earth. God put you in this position for a reason, it is not a fluke or chance, it is pre-ordained, those around you that you see as "opponents" are just helping you to see the light and goodness in all things, as we know that you have gone very much astray from the path of God and the path of light. The error of your ways has been that you allegedly chose to live a life of evil & used the forces of evil to get your way.

Both the people of Daanbantayan and God will respect you forevermore if you voluntarily turn to a life of light and goodness and live honestly and decently for the rest of your days. The people of Daanbantayan wish you well Malu, you are a strong adversary to them, but you are not as strong as God, and the Devil is not as strong as God. The people of Daanbantayan now ask you to choose God or the Devil, which is ultimately the most important choice you will make in this lifetime. Choosing the Devil will only mean you will have to repeat this lesson over and over in further incarnations on this planet until you do realise that God is the only way. By choosing God you will free yourself of all the negativity that your karma has collected and be welcomed to Heaven.

MAYOR Ma. Luisa J. Loot of Daanbantayan, Cebu yesterday issued a closure order against at least 25 unauthorized cemeteries, based on the findings and recommendation of the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Loot said too many cemeteries in her town could land Daanbantayan in the Guinness Book of World Records, and if not stopped, the number could increase, because almost all big-time landowners and families who belong to the upper class want their own cemetery. Loot said she even discovered that a rich family buried their deceased member and constructed a tomb inside their house.

In her closure order, Loot said unauthorized cemeteries violate Section 4 of Municipal Ordinance 13-2003, which provides that all applicants that want to operate or establish cemeteries are required to secure the proper development permit and license to sell cemetery lots from the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board. Section 5 of the ordinance provides that burials shall be made only inside a duly licensed cemetery. Loot also cited Presidential Decree 856, which states “it is unlawful for any person to bury remains in places other than those legally authorized.”

InspectionDOH 7 Director Susana Madarieta wrote a letter to Loot last October, informing her that they found out during inspection that private lots, including household front yards and back yards or lots owned by private persons adjacent to the existing cemeteries, are used as burial grounds even without the DOH clearance, as mandated by the Sanitation Code of the Philippines. Madarieta recommended that the local government unit (LGU) stop burials in unauthorized burial grounds and order the closure of unauthorized cemeteries that pose imminent danger to public health.

Loot said two religious groups, the Roman Catholic Church and Iglesia Filipina Independiente, also operate unauthorized cemeteries in the municipality. Aside from the closure order, Loot also wrote a letter to Engr. Peter Señeres, the general manager of the Cebu II Electric Cooperative Inc. based in Malingin, Bogo City, requesting him to refrain from connecting electric power supply to the illegal cemeteries during All Souls’ and All Saints’ Days on Nov. 1 and 2. Loot told Señeres that the illegal cemeteries are located in Barangays Calape, Agujo, Bateria, Bagay, Malbago, Bakhawan, Tapilon, Maya, Poblacion and Bitoon.

The illegal cemeteries owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Church are in Sitio Malocbaloc, Barangay Agujo, in Barangay Bagay, in Barangay Tapilon, and in Barangay Maya. “Closing these illegal cemeteries may cause a backlash to my political career, but I don’t care because I want the laws to be followed by everybody. Nobody is above the law,” Loot said.

Let's not pretend that the Loot's are just regular politicians who get a bit of tong (bribe) money. They are serious criminals who deliberately use their positions of power for their own wealth generation purposes. Yes it's common practice in the Philippines, but these people ie Malu Loot, her husband Police Supt Vicente Loot and their son Sun Shimura are "devils in disguise". This site lists a few examples of corrupt activities of the administration in Daanbantayan headed by Malu Loot Corruption

Anyone who gets in their way is trodden on, and ends up getting sued by Malu, removed from any job they have in Daanbantayan, and even sent to jail on concocted charges fabricated by Malu Loot and her team of gangsters who are supposedly called the "Municipal Council". They are all crooks and cheats & liars who only support the Loot's because there is money in it for them. Anyone who crosses Malu politically or in any way opposes her publicly incurs Malu's wrath, and an extremely vindictive attack commences. Malu just doesn't let go until she has annihilated her opponents, that can be by running them out of town, denying them access to government services, having them sacked from their jobs and even coercing others not to do business with them, thus stifling their ability to earn a living in Daanbantayan. Here's the outcome of one case against Jeronimo Cosido where he lost his job in the Municipio after undue pressure was applied to him by Malu Loot. His brother Bartoleme crossed Malu over the illegal implementation by Malu of new tax laws without approval from the Cebu government. Malu's response was to attack family members who were vulnerable ie Jeronimo Cosido, as he was a town employee, see http://7434977933982169991-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/balitabantay/Home/downloads/june27015.jpg

Many residents have understandably become compliant and no longer attempt to oppose the Loot's. At least that way they can still survive at the meagre poverty level. So many people have had their own and their families lives "destroyed" by the Loot's that the locals see there is no point in trying to oppose them anymore. It's more like a military dictatorship that is controlling the town.

Many supporters of Itok Corro are unable to get services from the Council offices and have to travel to Bogo City and Cebu City to do normal transactions that are usually done at the local Town Hall.Others do not get water and garbage services, even though they pay rates for these etc, as Malu has ordered that certain residents are not to be provided with essential services. It's not surprising to know that these certain residents are political opponents who support the opposition team. Complaints to the Ombudsman and local police fall on deaf ears, as both these government bodies are seemingly "under the control" of the Loot's, usually by payment of bribes etc to do what the Loot's want done, or to block any cases that have the Loot's name on them.

The Loot's get millions of pesos from bribes to turn their eye to illegal big time fisherman, who decimate the waters off Daanbantayan and make it difficult for the small rural self sufficient fisherman to make a meagre living anymore. See Illegal Fishing in Daanbantayan waters & Protection bribes

Malu uses the influence of her senior policeman husband who is currently Chief of Staff of Cebu Provincial headquarters, to exert pressure on local Daanbantayan policeman, and other policeman who have families living in Daanbantayan. Virtually the whole town of Daanbantyan lives in fear of the Loot's and their regime as there are many henchmen with guns who carry out Malu's wicked orders without hesitation. These goons are impervious to arrest from local police as they have exemption from prosecution, as ordered by the Mayor and Vice Mayor.

There are many reports of Vic Loot threatening and intimidating people in the lead up to elections. Opposition candidate Itok Corro lodged a case with the Ombudsman alleging interference in the May 2007 council election by Vic Loot during vote counting procedures. Vic Loot should have been no where near the ballot boxes when votes were being counted, yet he was directly outside the glass walled room, banging on the wall in a threatening and intimidating manner. Scrutineers were scared not to do the cheating that had already been arranged with Malu Loot & Vic Loot. If they don't do what they are told, then they are out of a job, get run out of town and may even get murdered.See this story for more details Election interference case against Vic Loot lodged with Ombudsman

That case is still pending and no action has yet taken place about the complaint, nearly 2 years later. The Ombudsmans office in Cebu is effectively under control of associates, friends and "so called" relatives of the Loot's. Malu Loot herself publicly brags that Aniano Descierto (ex Ombudsman) fixes all matters for them. She has publicly stated that no one has enough money to beat her and that Descierto fixes all issues in the Ombudsmans office for them. There are many other cases lodged over 2 years ago that have had no action take place. The Loot's use the strategy to just delay and delay all cases pending against them until the next election comes around. As many matters are of an administrative nature, then they never get heard within the elected term, so Malu escapes prosecution under the Aguinaldo doctrine. If any matter does somehow become escalated, then they just pay someone to "fix it".

The murder of an dual Australian/Filipino citizen Renerio "Gogong" Arrogante III on March 9, 2008 was the beginning of an uprising against the Loot's. Many townspeople were angry that their local hero had been murdered by the Loot's as payback for his rising political popularity and the fact that he emotionally hurt the Loot's when he sued them for bigamy, a case based on official records Gogong had acquired. The Loot's supposedly had official records sanitized as well as bribed the judge, and the "altered documentation" presented as evidence in court showed a different story to the "original" records. Gogong lost that case and also lost his life for his trouble. Vic Loot stated he was "hurt to the bone" by the actions of Gogong and never forgave him. Retribution raged in his & Malu's minds for nearly a year until the order to assassinate Gogong was issued for a reported fee of P200,000.

Over 3,000 people attended Gogongs funeral in Daanbantayan, there had NEVER been a funeral that big in the town. Townspeople formed the Justice for Gogong Movement (J4G) and have held monthly vigils and memorial services at his grave on the 9th of every month since his murder. On the one year anniversary on 9th March 2009 over 700 people attended the memorial service at his Mausoleum in Balingasag, Daanbantayan. Many supporters attend the memorial service held every month, attendance ranging from 100 to 500 people. Malu Loot gets particularly mad and lamblasts the organisers and supporters over the local Bantay Radyo station immediately after the gathering. She is so angry that the murder of Gogong is being kept at such a high profile in local peoples minds and in Cebu newspapers reports. Why doe she get so angry ? Because she is scared that one day those who know of the direct involvement of the Loot's will succumb to the ongoing display of public sympathy and turn against her & her husband and start talking to the NBI. That will be the day the Loot's get arrested for murder. Read more about Gogong here Renerio Mongaya Arrogante III (Jun or Gogong) - murdered 9 March 2008

The recent Graft case against Malu & Vic Loot lodged with the Manila Ombudsman by NBI on 3 April 2009, is the start of their downfall. NBI have obviously taken an interest in the Loot's and discovered in routine examination of official SALN,s that there were serious discrepancies. The Loot's are crying foul, and claiming that due process was not given to them as they were unaware of a lifestyle check being carried out. That's nonsense as Vic Loot is a policeman, and he well knows that there is an official "No Contact" policy during lifestyle check investigations. This is to prevent interference or coercion being applied to investigators and their familes and friends etc, in an attempt to pervert the course of the investigation. The Loots say they should have been told before charges were laid, but again that's nonsense, the first thing the Loots would have done is to try and bribe someone, and failing that to then threaten to have them murdered, and if that still didn't work, then the investigator would probably have been murdered. This is not fanciful imagination either, there are many cases in Cebu of investigations getting too close to individuals, and the investigator suddenly got murdered. There was one story about an official investigation into illegal fishing practices in Cebu, an activity that Malu Loot was very vocal about as it involved investigators coming onto her "turf" ie the waters of Daanbantayan. She was very annoyed that someone actually arrested an illegal fisherman who had already paid the Loot's "protection" money, and this was therefore affecting her income from illegal fishing "tong". Soon after this event, the Government investigator was murdered.

There are serious Graft & Corruption charges which are supported by lot's of documentary evidence in the complaint lodged by the NBI, and the Loot's should be very worried as this could be the downfall of both their careers. The Loots are pretending that the matter is nothing and that they can overcome it just like all other legal matters & charges they have previously faced. They are claiming that senior officials in the Government will help them "fix the case". Quite the opposite is the real truth though, as reports from "insiders" tell that Malu and Vic are very, very worried, and are arguing constantly and no longer living in the same residence in Daanbantayan. She stays at the "white house" in poblacion, and he stays at their holiday house in Pajo near the beach. Their pattern of behaviour has changed quite significantly and there have been many unusual changes in their mannerisms. Malu has been "rallying the troops" at various urgently called meetings, to try to tone down negative morale amongst her supporters over the many and serious charges that have been laid against them in the last month, both by the NBI for Graft and now the Capitol re gross negligence and dereliction of duty charges. Only time will tell who will "win" this matter, but the Loot's are likely to be the big losers !

THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has recommended the prosecution of two Cebu public officials, finding an “unexplained increase in their assets.” Daanbantayan Vice Mayor Ma. Luisa Loot and her husband, Police Senior Supt. Vicente Loot, allegedly violated the anti-graft law and the Code of Conduct for Public Officials and Employees, and falsified public documents. “The increase in net worth is not proportionate with the annual taxable income declared by the subjects,” the NBI said in a letter-complaint the Office of the Ombudsman in Manila received last April 3 (2008). “There is no sufficient explanation on the exorbitant increase,” added the document, signed by NBI Deputy Director for Special Investigation Services Victor Bessat.

Senior Supt. Loot believes the complaint has political backing. He told Sun.Star Cebu there were some items they did not include in previous statements of assets and liabilities because these were not required then. The vice mayor, in a separate interview, described the matter as “political harassment.” She told Sun.Star Cebu by phone that they went to the NBI central office last Wednesday to ask about the case. She also pointed out that as early as 1998, she already declared some P82 million in assets. Loot said they are updating their records at the Bureau of Internal Revenue, so they can correct any deficiencies in their taxes.

BusinessOther than the anti-graft law, the code of conduct and the Revised Penal Code’s provision against falsification, Bessat’s letter-complaint also cited Republic Act (RA) 1379. The law sets the procedures and commands the forfeiture, in favor of the state, of any property unlawfully acquired by any public officer or employee. “Whenever any public officer or employee has acquired during his incumbency an amount of public property which is manifestly out of proportion to his salary... other lawful income and income from legitimately acquired property, said property is presumed prima facie to have been unlawfully acquired,” Section 2 of RA 1379 reads. Bessat, citing the findings of Atty. Allan Contado, chief of the NBI’s anti-graft division, said the Loot spouses had a total taxable income of P611,214 in 2005, P612,548 in 2006 and P604,680 in 2007. The figures were based on their tax returns and took into account their salaries and income from their businesses—the Gallera de Mandaue, a cockpit; Eigado Mini Mart; Eigado Lending Investors; the Mandaue Sabungan Canteen; and the Eigado Real Estate Lessor.

IncreaseMeanwhile, in the joint Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) that the Loots submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for 2005, 2006 and 2007, the spouses declared their net worth as P83,075,143 for 2005, P87,645,800 in 2006 and P106,701,628 in 2007. The NBI letter-complaint cited the sharp increase in the Loot couple’s net worth between 2005 and 2006 (about P4.5 million) and between 2006 and 2007 (P19.05 million). “How could there be an increase in the amount of P4,570,657 in the year 2006 if the only taxable income earned during that year was only P612,548 (based on the annual tax returns)?” Bessat said in his letter. Bessat said the spouses attributed the 2007 increase—about P19 million—to their construction of houses within Mandaue City’s Mango Green Village, worth P12,272,000, and the acquisition of a Quezon City condominium worth P4.9 million. They indicated that the value of the Mandaue City property supposedly increased by P23,772,000 from the original P12.2 million, said Bessat.

‘Abrupt’The couple also indicated that they made additional investments amounting to P6,485,728. Still, Bessat said, the increase “could not justify or explain the abrupt increase in income.” Likewise, Bessat said, the couple already factored in the Mandaue City houses in their 2006 SALN. Senior Supt. Loot acknowledged there was a difference but explained that recently, there were “new baseline declarations” that did not require some items in previous years. He noted that some items such as insurance and investment policies like pre-need plans were acquired in the 1980s yet and had to be included in the new forms. Loot added that in previous years, they were not required to itemize all their assets.

No due processHe said he was ready to answer the allegations, but questioned why he and the vice mayor were immediately being charged. “If they had approached us earlier to ask us about it (the increase in net worth), we would have explained. Dili na unta maabot sa ingon ani. But we are ready to answer that,” Loot said in a phone interview. He added that a pending case before the Office of the Ombudsman was designed to affect his plans to pursue a promotion. Loot felt that they were not accorded with due process because they were not asked to explain before it was decided that a complaint be filed against them. “My question is, why us? Kadaghan diha ga-casino nga mga pulis, mga pulitiko nga mopusta ug tig P500,000. Kami, asa man mi makit-an? Unsa ma’y mga bisyo namo? (There are police and politicians who spend time in the casinos. Have we ever been accused of doing any of that?),” he said.

PersonalHe added that with their declared sources of income, one could not doubt that they would be able to afford the assets they have declared. Loot was at the main headquarters in Camp Crame yesterday and admitted many friends have contacted him regarding the impending charges. Bessat’s letter-complaint also stressed the couple failed to reflect certain properties and holdings in their SALN. The couple, he said, only declared ownership of two parcels of land and two buildings. However, the NBI found, the couple actually has six parcels of land in Daanbantayan. Vice Mayor Loot said they are ready to face any inquiry, to show political detractors they acquired these legally. She lamented the “personal attack on my private life” and described the case as part of “dirty political tricks” to get back at them. (KNR/With MEA & GMD)

A BARANGAY official of Daanbantayan questioned the northern town’s police for releasing the five men he arrested for alleged illegal fishing. Malbago Barangay Captain Virgilio Misa said he had intended to file a formal complaint against the fishermen. Misa went to the governor’s office yesterday, where he discussed the matter with Capitol consultant Jose Ma. Gastardo, chairman of the Provincial Anti-illegal Fishing Task Force. Gastardo admitted the police committed lapses. Misa said it was not the first time town police released men he had arrested.

Seized itemsSeveral years ago when he was still a barangay tanod, he said the police also did the same. The fishermen were arrested off the coast of Sitio Suba around 8 a.m. last Monday. They were identified as Rommel Pepito, 26; Mendez Mercader, 34; Julius Martinez, 19; Ruel Pormentera, 34; and Tiburcio Casas, 37. Seized from their possession were a bottle of improvised explosives, a motor banca, a compressor and four kilos of fish. Misa said he told the town police he would be filing a case against the five men. He said he waited for the police to get in touch with him, but they never did. He said he was surprised to find out last Wednesday that the five men had been released. Misa said the fishermen hail from the neighboring barangay of Calape. Cebu Provincial Police Office Director Patrocinio Comendador explained that what happened was a result of “miscommunication”

MisunderstandingHe said Misa waited for the station chief after he brought the five men to the station, but the station chief was at a budget hearing. Misa ended up going home. Comendador said Calape Barangay Captain Victor Agipo arrived and told police Misa would not be pressing charges. He said police still waited for Misa to file his affidavit, but he didn’t show up because he was waiting for police to call him. PO2 Alfredo Mandar of the Daanbantayan Police Station told Sun.Star Cebu they had to release the fishermen because the reglementary period had expired. Mandar said they will still charge the five men with violating Section 88, Paragraph 2 of Republic Act 8550, or the 1998 Fishery Code of the Philippines. The law stipulates that fishing through explosives, noxious or poisonous substance and/or electricity will be punishable by imprisonment ranging from six months to two years.

‘Lack of cooperation’In a related development, Joeffrey Merencillo, coordinator of the task force’s action team Eskina, complained in a letter to Gov. Gwen Garcia that the Carmen Police Station failed to help them during an operation last July. Merencillo said they apprehended three fish cars in the vicinity of the Danao City fish port. They confiscated five boxes of mixed tuloy (sardines) and mangsi (herring) and three boxes of assorted reef fish. After they were done documenting, he said they decided to have lunch and brought the boxes to the police station on the “presumption that the police station was the safest place.” When they returned, Merencillo said they were shocked to find three boxes open and half-empty. Commendador said the task force should coordinate with police in their operations.

CEBU, Philippines - A barangay captain in northern Cebu was dismayed after his effort to arrest illegal fishermen in his area turned futile when policemen released them without filing any charges. Malbago, Daanbantayan Barangay Captain Virgilio Misa is suspecting that somebody is protecting the illegal fishermen. “Murag naay nihangyo nga dili kasohan,” Misa told reporters at the Capitol yesterday. Misa himself apprehended five fishermen after he personally saw them throwing dynamite at the seawaters of their barangay. He was assisted by two members of the Barangay Intelligence Network. He confiscated assorted fishes, unused dynamite bottles, a compressor, flashlights and the pumpboat and reported it to the Daanbantayan Police Station. Misa said that after the incident was recorded in the police blotter, PO2 Alfredo Mandal and two other policemen went to his barangay and took some pieces of evidence. Misa said that he and the police agreed to file the case the following day and he will just wait for them in the barangay in going to Cebu City. He waited several hours, prompting him to check with the police station on why nobody came. “Naanad man gud ko nga hapiton ko nila paingon sa province pero wala man,” he also said.

Misa said he was told by Mandal that they returned to the police station after their chief, Insp. Roseller Paller, called them and told them to file the case later. Misa was asked to wait for Paller at the station but he left after several hours of waiting. Last Wednesday, Misa said he was surprised to see the suspects on board a multicab of the neighboring barangay of Calape where the suspects live. The suspects even thanked him for not filing a case against them and asked for their fishing paraphernalia but Misa said he refused. Misa visited the Cebu City Police Office (CPPO) yesterday to ask what to do with the illegal fishing equipment that they have confiscated and how to go after the suspects who were already freed. The fishermen were Rommel Pepito, 26; Mendez Mercader, 34; Julius Martinez, 19; Roel Formentera, 34 and Teburcio Casas, 37.

Mandal, for his part, claimed that they sent communication to Misa through radio and called him several times in his cellular phone but the barangay captain failed to appear at the police station. “Sa sige namo og contact niya wala man gyud muari paminaw namo disinterested siya sa kaso,” Mandal said. Mandal added that they could not file a case unless Misa, as the arresting officer, will execute an affidavit as well as his two barangay tanods Danilo Villegas and Luciano Malinao. The fishermen were released because the reglamentary period had lapsed, he said. “Kung moingon siya nga hapiton siya sa una ra man na. Karon lahi na man ang hepe dapat siya gyud muari ngari,” he said.

Chief Supt. Ager Ontog will soon relinquish his post as director of the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7). Ontog will be moving to Camp Crame, where he is reportedly set for a promotion.Ontog assumed his current post last Aug. 14, 2010, replacing Chief Supt. Lani-O Nerez. In a news conference yesterday, Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia said Ontog “will be a big loss to the region.”“He has been very hardworking and very cooperative with the province especially in our campaign against all forms of criminality—illegal fishing, drugs—but we cannot be also a hindrance to his promotion,” Garcia said.Garcia recently turned over the chairmanship of the Regional Peace and Order Council in Central Visayas (RPOC-7) to Bohol Gov. Edgar Chatto. During her term, Garcia appointed Ontog as vice chairman of the RPOC-7.

Being floated as Ontog’s possible replacements are Chief Supt. Carmelo Valmoria and Chief Supt. Marcelo Garbo. Governor Garcia said she would welcome the appointment of Valmoria because of his “professionalism” and “principled performance”. “We hope that he may be considered. We would be very elated if Camp Crame will consider Gen. Valmoria for the PRO-7 post,” she said. The turnover of command is set on Sept. 9.

Garbo has served as deputy regional director for operation under former PRO-7 director Ronald Roderos. Garbo is a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class 1981. Some of Garbo’s classmates has served in Cebu province such as Chief Supt. Valmoria and Chief Supt. Vicente Loot.

LWUA to Loot: Rural waterworks need not get business permit - 15 August 2011This
article was originally published in The Freeman by Rene U Borromeo/JPM at http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=716961&publicationSubCategoryId=107CEBU, Philippines - Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) Administrator Daniel Landingin has reminded Daanbantayan town Mayor Ma. Luisa Loot of an existing law that exempts rural waterworks and sanitation associations like the Tapilon Rural Waterworks from paying business permits. Landingin’s letter to Loot was his response to her query about the operations of the Tapilon Rural Waterworks System Association (TARWASA) in barangay Tapilon, which did not secure a permit from the municipality.

Loot’s letter to Lan-dingin asked clarification on whether local government units can collect business permits from the Rural Waterworks and Sanitation Associations (RWSA). Her letter was dated April 19, 2011 but even before Landingin could make a reply, Loot on that same day issued a closure order to TARWASA for operating without business permit. Loot claimed that aside from the failure of TARWASA officials to secure business permit, the TARWASA did not have a certificate of franchise from the LWUA and certificate of public convenience or franchise from the National Water Resources Board (NWRB).

Landingin told Loot Section 33 (b) of Executive Order 869 issued in February 2, 1983 which states that “The RWSAs shall be exempt from all national government, local government and municipal taxes and fees, including any franchise filing, recordation, license or permit fees or taxes.” There is a case pending before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) in Bogo City because TARWASA officials headed by their chairman Claro Benatiro sought the help of the court when Loot shut down their waterworks system. “It is our opinion that RWSA are exempt from the requirement of securing a mayor’s permit, but RWSA are required to secure water permit from the National Water Resources Board in accordance with the provisions of the Water Code,” said Landingin. The LWUA official, however, did not make further comments about the alleged illegality of the operation of the water system in Tapilon, Daanbantayan because of the pending case.

TARWASA sought the help of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III to intervene and to give final solution to their conflict with Mayor Loot. Benatiro claimed that despite of the court-issued order directing Loot and the municipality of Daanbantayan to maintain a status quo, she continued to defy the order and refused to return the operation of their waterworks system to TARWASA officials. He said Loot entrusted the waterworks system to the officials of barangay Tapilon because they are her political supporters who, Benatiro alleged, have not been paying their monthly water bills since the start of the controversy in 2009.

Warning to opponents of Malu re mobile phone use, you are being monitored by Malu Loot - 31 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Opponents of Malu Loot are warned to keep conversations on mobile phones short, ideally less than 2 minutes, and to code all their conversations with non descriptive words, times, dates & names etc, as Malu allegedly is listening in with new electronic eavesdropping equipment that she illegally imported into the country by bribing a customs official. Text messages are also believed to be being intercepted, and it is possible to locate the physical location of a mobile phone user, in order (for example) to attempt to murder that person.

So a necessary warning is issued to opponents of Malu. Use your mobile phone for short duration calls only, less than 2 minutes is ideal, which makes it difficult for someone monitoring your calls to lock onto the signal as well as hear substantial amounts of your conversation. Each time you hang up and start a new call, the electronic scanner eavesdropping equipment has to rescan to find the new cellular connection your phone has established. To protect yourself and the information content of the voice phone call, you should code your conversations, with code names, coded dates and times, and coded information eg place names are different to their real names, people have secret nicknames etc. The code can be discussed and agreed upon in person when you meet prior to making confidential phone calls. This way even if your call is allegedly intercepted by Malu, it will be very difficult for her to interpret what you are talking about.

It is also a good idea to switch between different phones and make calls from different mobile phones and numbers, rather than making all your calls from the same phone & number. Using different phones makes it more difficult to intercept new calls quickly.

Furthermore switching off the mobile phone does not guarantee you cannot be located by this spy equipment. Most mobile phones send out a small signal to the cellular network periodically, even when switched off, and this momentary signal pulse can be used to identify your location. The only absolutely safe way to avoid detection is to remove the battery from your mobile phone, temporarily of course until you next need to use it, but in a life and death situation you should remove the battery from the phone until you are in a safe and secure location again.

You have been warned, Malu is allegedly desperate to listen in on your calls and gather whatever information she can, so be careful when using your mobile. Try not to discuss sensitive or secret information via the mobile phone.

Malu allegedly bribes customs official to import illegal mobile phone electronic eavesdropping equipment - 31 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Whispers from the Loot camp allege that Malu has bribed a customs official a couple of months ago to allow the import of an illegal piece of electronic eavesdropping equipment. Malu allegedly wanted to hear what her opponents are up to and she has apparently been using this equipment to intercept & listen to mobile phone calls. The equipment can also track and locate a user of a particular mobile phone, so that someone who Malu is allegedly searching for, can be physically located when they use their mobile phone. It is also believed that the "spy" equipment can intercept text messages sent & received by phones being monitored.

One reason Malu allegedly wanted this equipment is to track the whereabouts of someone she wanted to have murdered, and she planned to locate them via their mobile phone signal, and once located, she would send in a gunman to kill the person. Malu is also allegedly trying to find out which people in her organization, are leaking information to the opposition, especially about her secret corrupt plans etc. Malu wants to silence whoever is leaking information & will use this eavesdropping equipment to track possible suspects & the calls they make & receive. To the best of our knowledge Malu has been unable to establish who, if anyone, is leaking information about the Loot's activities, despite sacking many staff & security people and downsizing her organizations staffing levels to only very trusted persons, usually relatives. Malu even suspects that there are listening bugs hidden inside her houses, placed there by her opponents. Malu has become paranoid about security.

Allegedly Malu has previously used spy & surveillance equipment prior to the 2010 election, when her Keeper of Security, Boy Tambok allegedly stole an opponents phone and had a voice transmitter fitted, then returned the phone, so that Malu could listen in to any conversation the opposition person was having in the same room the phone was located. So this "spy" mentality is allegedly not new to Malu, but she has stepped up her ability to eavesdrop by allegedly importing this high tech electronic equipment. This equipment is illegal to own & use in the Philippines, unless it is authorised police usage, which in Malu's case it is not. Malu is breaking the law by importing, owning & using this type of equipment. She is further breaking the law by intercepting electronic communications. This is very unsatisfactory behaviour from a town mayor who is supposed to serve the people, not spy on the people. It has also been revealed that Malu allegedly has a person sitting in a telephone exchange monitoring calls that her opponents make. This is believed to be related to fixed landline phones. In one case the office phone line of one of her political opponents was being monitored.

So a necessary warning to opponents of Malu. Use your mobile phone for short duration calls only, less than 2 minutes is ideal, which makes it difficult for someone monitoring your calls to lock onto the signal as well as hear substantial amounts of your conversation. Each time you hang up and start a new call, the electronic scanner eavesdropping equipment has to rescan and takes some time to find the new cellular connection your phone has established. To protect yourself and the information content of the voice phone call, you should code your conversations, with code names, coded dates and times, and coded information eg place names are different to their real names, people have secret nicknames etc. The code can be discussed and agreed upon in person when you meet prior to making confidential phone calls. This way even if your call is allegedly intercepted by Malu, it will be very difficult for her to interpret what you are talking about. Furthermore switching off the mobile phone does not guarantee you cannot be located by this spy equipment. Most mobile phones send out a small signal to the cellular network periodically, even when switched off, and this momentary signal pulse can be used to identify your location. The only absolutely safe way to avoid detection is to remove the battery from your mobile phone, temporarily of course until you next need to use it, but in a life and death situation you should remove the battery from the phone until you are in a safe and secure location again.

Tch, tch Malu, these allegations just show how desperate and despicable you are.

Malu says School Mall project a "done deal", Loot insiders say it is all wrong - 31 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Malu Loot recently announced at a meeting that the Daanbantayan Elementary school site will be sold off to developers to build a huge modern American style Shopping Mall. The school will be moved to another vacant site as a sort of "swap deal" so the mall can be built on the prime real estate site occupied by the current school. Malu told parents and concerned citizens that this project was a "done deal" and that nothing will stop this plan from going ahead, and that she is very adamant that the development project will go ahead "no matter what". Parents were told to sign a document indicating their agreement to this project. Many signed out of fear of Malu, but others said they refused to sign as it was wrong to force this project ahead with such little notice and without public input or consultation. Malu has stated that school & Dept of Education officials have agreed and signed documents that will allow transfer of the land.

Exactly what the status of this project is at present on an official level is unsure, but it has certainly stirred up the ire of townspeople who are opposed to this massive scale of development in the town. The general public has not yet seen the development plans or application so it is hard for locals to make comment. One very big consideration is that many small vendors will be forced out of business as shops in the mall will compete for business & sales. Others say that a large shopping mall will be good for the town and boost business and tourism. Others say that for sure, this development will allegedly put lots of money into the personal pocket of Malu Loot.

Behind the scenes though, this project has lots of sour notes. Insiders say it is full of holes, and that Malu has allegedly ordered fake documents and forged land titles be created to facilitate the passing of the development plans when they are submitted to council for approval. Insiders allege that there are many things wrong with the development plan. "It is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole", says one person. Others have allegedly said to Malu that "the pieces do not fit together". Malu allegedly ordered them to keep their mouths shut and to not tell anyone. "Shut up", she shouts at them, "shut up, shut up, shut up & keep your mouths shut". Despite the objections of her own people, Malu has allegedly turned a blind eye to the errors and inconsistencies in the project plans and documentation.

For example, Loot insiders have advised that certain parcels of land allegedly do not conform to technical requirements for size and dimensions and square meter areas etc. In response to this Malu Loot allegedly ordered a whole box of forged documents be supplied from her long term forgery connections in Cebu City. These documents apparently relate to the correct parcels of land that will be amalgamated to make up the proposed development, but details and particulars have allegedly been altered to state something different to what the land really is, and in so doing the development requirements now appear to be satisfactorily met. Unfortunately this "satisfaction" is only on paper, and they are on paper that has been forged too, as the original land has not altered in any way and still does not allow the development to conform to requirements. Size and dimensions and square meter areas have been altered so the land parcels referred to, now appear to satisfy technical requirements. Cross checking against original source public record documents will show that significant deviations from real factual data has been recorded on the fake titles etc, so as to allegedly be misleading and to allow Malu's proposals to fit development requirements. She has allegedly made square pegs fit round holes, and round pegs fit into square holes, simply by cutting pieces off here and there and adding pieces on here and there, ie to force the pegs to fit into the holes (or literally force the parcels of land to fit the development requirements).

Apparently Malu has had difficulties acquiring some land and having titles put into appropriate names etc, in time for this development to go ahead. So Malu ordered forged documents to be created so that anyone examining the development application would approve it, based on the information contained in the supporting land title documents etc.

It seems that the investors, Gaisano, have told Malu that there is a October 2011 deadline, and that if this project is not given the go ahead by that time, then the investor will pull out of dealings with Malu & Daanbantayan. Malu has had no choice but to create forged documents so she could purport to the investor/developer that the project will go ahead. As always, the alleged lies, deception and cheating do not matter to Malu, she believes that can all be sorted out by legal challenges and legal delays later, as she knows so well how to allegedly buy the legal system and get the outcome she wants.

To the Authorities, Governor Gwen Garcia and the townspeople of Daanbantayan, you need to carefully review the documents that are submitted with this development application. Check the documents against original land title records, check all the small details for errors or inconsistencies, as there will be many, and it will be seen that this project is technically & legally not allowable. Furthermore this school mall project is allegedly part of the larger Malapascua Island Resort & Casino project, and this school mall will allow the investor/developer to get a "foot in the door" in Daanbantayan, so to speak. A successful development of a mall will put Malu in apparent good standing with the community, and the developers and investors will make many friends in the town and gain strong political support. Further projects when proposed, ie the Malapascua Resort and Casino are then likely to get more favourable treatment, despite claims that this Malapascua project is really a front for moneu laundering from organised crime in south east Asia, and allegations that Malu has connections with these crime figures. Malu allegedly still hopes to "cover up" these allegations.

The investors have also told Malu that something must be finalised by October 2011 or else they will pull out of investing in Daanbantayan. They have waited a long time for the much delayed Malapascua project to begin, and this school mall project is Malu's way of giving the developer something to satisfy them in the meantime, while "other issues and difficulties" associated with the Malapascua project are overcome. Malu still has some significant land acquisitions to finalise before she can go ahead with these plans. She has also been allegedly trying to silence vocal critics of her Malapascua Island plans, by having them murdered, but she has not been able to achieve that outcome. She even allegedly ordered her husband Vic Loot to use his police resources to track down certain persons and have them murdered to stop their criticism of Malu's Malapascua plans and other matters, and it has been apparent that Vic has allegedly been involved in these activities by improperly using police resources & supervising the search & employing professional gunmen etc.

Townspeople of Daanbantayan, you have now been warned of the devious intent that is behind Malu's school mall plans. The plans are technically not viable as is, and Malu has resorted to using forged documents to "get her way" and cover up any gross errors in the development plan submission. She is allegedly just a BIG LIAR AND A CHEAT and deserves to be publicly exposed as such. Malu is now poised to bring development to the town through her Malapascua Island Resort & Casino plan, but this is allegedly a BIG SCAM, that will only help her get wealthier, as the cash flow & huge profits will allegedly be derived from drug & crime activities in south east Asia. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS WOMAN.

The allegedly corrupt sell off of the Elementary School in Daanbantayan for a new Shopping Mall, announced in August 2011, is allegedly stage 1 in the Resort & Casino development, as it will open the doors for the rest of Malu's allegedly evil & corrupt plans to follow. It will facilitate her & the investors ability to make these corrupt developments happen, by having more money, more political clout, more influence around the town, and a track record of a successful Mall development etc. Allegedly the plans for this school mall project are all wrong, the supporting documents are all wrong as they are fakes, Malu has allegedly manipulated land particulars & details to make it appear that the development conforms to legal requirements, but these land titles and supporting documents are allegedly fakes. A comparison of the development application supporting documents against the original source public records will indicate that Malu has allegedly made changes and had fake land titles etc produced, so as to ensure her development plans have a smooth flow through council and will be approved, without any apparent technical reasons to refuse the approval. Townspeople & authorities should not accept the development plans' supporting documents & supporting land titles for the amalgamation of lands etc as being legitimate, as they are allegedly fakes or forgeries. When the real land titles are looked up in official source records, the alleged changes that Malu has made will be uncovered, eg land dimensions and areas etc have been altered to fit in with the development application requirements, and Malu herself will be seen allegedly as a BIG CHEAT AND LIAR.

Townspeople of Daanbantayan, stand up now & oppose Malu Loot, before she commits this town to allegedly further rape & prostitution at the hands of allegedly the biggest whore the town has, Maria Luisa Loot herself.

As part of the mainland based development plans for a relocated port, hotel & airport etc, which allegedly relate to the Malapascua Island Resort & Casino plan, Malu allegedly plans to use more black magic to get her way & manipulate land owners with disease & ill health, and when they are in financial difficulty due to health care costs, she will then "persuade or coerce" them to sell off their lands. She also allegedly plans to involve her husband General Vic Loot, to use his now much more powerful & autonomous military & police influence, to coerce landholders in the vicinity of Maya & Daanbantayan airport, to part with their lands as part of a government ordered land resumption program. This is allegedly a totally fictitious land resumption program, and police and military personnel under orders from Vic, will allegedly be used as "standover men" to intimidate landowners to hand over their lands. The alleged plan of Malu is, that the landowners in question will "in ignorance" blindly accept that the order or advice given by police & military officials to handover their lands, thinking it is actually legitimate. There are other "key or important landowners" in the area, who will allegedly get special treatment from Malu, as they will be sickened and diseased by black magic attacks and will then be in financial distress, and will therefore more easily "succumb" to offers to sell their land. Malu has allegedly already targetted five landowners, and will initially attack the two most important ones with black magic, so as to weaken the resolve of all parties involved & prevent them from resisting her corrupt land resumption and takeover attempts.

These development projects are only designed to allegedly make Malu even richer than what she already is, with hundreds of millions of pesos profit and graft money allegedly going to her personal bank account, which is essentially coming from the proceeds of organised crime in Asia. Malu is touting these projects as legitimate and "above board", whereas they allegedly are really inherently corrupt and based on immoral activities and corrupt planning procedures. Malu allegedly does not care for her constituents, she only cares for herself and how much wealth and power she has.

People of Daanbantayan it is now time to stop this allegedly evil woman, before she damages the town beyond redemption by letting organised crime into Daanbantayan and Cebu, which will ultimately spread to other parts of the Philippines. LET MALU KNOW YOU DO NOT WANT BLOOD MONEY IN THIS TOWN.

Malu distracts Garcia with minor issues, but major corrupt developments are proceeding unhindered - 31 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

A clever ploy has been uncovered which Malu Loot has allegedly tried to pull off. Numerous small actions have been carried out against her constituents over the last few months which appear improper & unreasonable. These activities raised the ire of many people, and have attracted the attention of Governor Gwen Garcia & others to help "fix them up". From Malu Loot's point of view, this ploy has allegedly worked well, as the attention of authorities & townspeople are now focussed on these smaller issues rather than the bigger issues and alleged dirty tricks that Malu is involved with.

Malu's main focus at present is to bring the Daanbantayan School Mall project to fruition, and also allegedly finalise issues and problems with landholdings etc that are required to allow the various components of the Malapascua Island Resort & Casino development to go ahead unhindered. Malu allegedly hopes that authorities will not discover all the allegedly corrupt land dealings, all the forged land titles, all the improper amalgamations of land and other elements etc that Malu has allegedly been putting into place to make these development plans work, despite their non compliance with technical requirements, or corrupt & improper implementation.

Congratulations to you Governor Garcia for the stance you are taking regarding these many inequities that Malu has allegedly carried out against her constituents, but with respect, you are advised to shift your focus to the serious allegations made about the School Mall project and the Malapascua Island Resort & Casino project and associated mainland developments ie hotel, airport, and relocated port at an alternate site near Maya. There is allegedly a critical October 2011 deadline which Malu must meet for the School Mall project to be approved otherwise the investor/developer will pull out of the deal. Malu does not want to lose this deal as there is allegedly so much personal income potential for her at stake.

With respect Governor, you have lost sight & overlooked the opportunity to study these allegations carefully and pull to pieces the alleged corrupt plans of Malu Loot for these projects. Please Governor, refocus your attention on the large issues & allocate resources to examine those, as Malu is busily working right under your nose to pull off the biggest personal money making double scam of her whole career. These developments will open the door for organised Asian crime gangs to launder money in Daanbantayan, Cebu, Philippines, and you are now sitting around doing nothing about this, and are busy chasing minor (albeit important) local issues. Please look into this school mall development as a matter of urgency, as the approval of this project will let the investors & developers get a "foot in the door" in Cebu, and pave the way for the allegedly even more corrupt Malapascua Island Resort & Casino plan & other associated mainland works that Malu allegedly plans.

Governor Gwen, please refer to articles on this site & elsewhere about these other projects, and start serious investigations immediately before it is too late. Malu Loot is allegedly very busy bringing all the final pieces together to make all these plans come to fruition. She must be stopped, as these plans, while seemingly good for the local economy on the surface, are indeed allegedly full of fraudulent claims, forged documents, and the whole "reason for being" is linked to organised crime. Do not wait until Malu announces these projects as it may be too late to do anything then, Malu will have committed people both legally & financially, and it will take a very brave politician to break contracts that have already been signed and sealed, so to speak. Malu has been for some time now seeking support from politicians in Manila so she can make her version of the Malapascua Island development go ahead. Whatever the outcome, Malu will allegedly for sure cause delays and fight the matter in the courts if necessary, but in the meantime the project(s) may have been completed, a "fait accompli" so to speak.

Please save the people of Daanbantayan from the alleged evil intentions of Maria Luisa Loot.

Authorities ask Daanbantayan citizens to lodge any complaints against Mayor Malu Loot - 31 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

In a show of support for the alleged inequities of governance that are taking place in Daanbantayan Cebu, authorities have requested anyone who has a gripe against Malu Loot or has in any way been unfairly treated by her, to come forward and lodge an official complaint. "We will help you legally with these complaints" say the authorities. Governor Gwen has already invited anyone in Daanbantayan who has a gripe with Malu to come forward and lodge a complaint with her & the SB/Provincial Board. "If you lodge the complaint" said Gwen, "I will do the rest". It is believed that the Governor will provide legal assistance to anyone who is poor and cannot afford a lawyer etc.

The message coming from higher authorities in Cebu and Manila is for the townspeople of Daanbantayan to complain, complain, complain, and then you will get the action you want. You will need to initially stick your head out and make your complaints known, so do not fear Malu, stand united together and stand in defiance of her and any alleged evil or corrupt plans she has for this town. Get yourselves organised and stand strong as a group and support each other and protect each other against retribution type attacks allegedly coming from Malu & her goons. As a united group you will be "a force to be dealt with" that Malu & her goons will have difficulty suppressing.

To the people of Daanbantayan, please do something about this allegedly evil woman, stand up against her and oppose her. Demand openness in governance of this town. Demand an end to murders using guns, knives, poison and black magic. Demand an end to the intimidation and standover tactics that the Loot regime allegedly uses. Demand an end to the quasi dictatorial rule that Malu Loot allegedly imposes on the citizens of Daanbantayan. Demand that Malu Loot be accountable for ALL her actions. Demand open governance where the people are consulted and are involved in the processes of local government rather than being excluded and trodden on and treated as scumbags, as Malu now allegedly does.

Ask the President of Philippines Noy Noy to step in and do something about Malu. Ask the Governor of Cebu Gwen Garcia to do something about Malu. Ask the Cebu & Manila based bosses of DILG to do something about both Malu & Vic. Ask the PNP Chief in Manila to do something about Vic Loot and his underhanded involvement in assisting Malu behind the scenes to achieve her corrupt policies. Write letters, send emails, send text messages or even visit their offices personally to lodge your complaint about Malu and all the wrong things you feel or know she has allegedly done in Daanbantayan. It is only by complaining that you will get action. Officials need complaints in order to act upon, officials cannot just take action themselves on unofficial complaints or hearsay information. The political scene has changed in the Philippines since the last election in 2010, and there is a BIG move to eradicate corruption at all levels of society, even in far away isolated Daanbantayan. Authorities are ready & willing to listen to you. Malu is allegedly already in serious trouble in many ways and has a bad record with high level authorities. Authorities just need your complaints to start more official & legal action against Malu & her cronies that will ultimately "bring her regime down". Authorities want your complaints to add to the ever growing list of complaints they already have about her. Authorities want to bring down anyone who is corrupt, so give them enough reasons to do this to Malu Loot & her regime.

If you remain scared & fearful of Malu & do nothing, then Malu will continue to get richer & the poor poverty stricken people of the town will become even more disadvantaged & remain in poverty. More of your friends and relatives who oppose the Loot's will allegedly get murdered in time by this evil Loot regime. For the sake of your town, for the sake of your grandchildren, for the sake of your great grandchildren & great great grandchildren, please ACT NOW. Think ahead about what your great great grandchildren will say, "This town is full of corruption and crime, why did our great grandparents not do something to stop all this corruption getting so bad, why were they so scared to stand up to Malu, why did they do NOTHING, now we have to suffer the consequences !"

Rey Buena allegedly victim of Malu Loot ordered black magic murder, for disloyalty - 30 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

The previous boss of the Daanbantayan Lands Office, Rey Buena died suddenly a few months ago of heart attack. Rey Buena was a career public servant, who held a strong neutral stance in the political arena, and choose deliberately not to associate himself with Malu Loot and her political party. He simply did his job and kept to himself in a political sense. A year or more prior to his death, Rey had been a relatively healthy man, with no particular health problems. He was strong and robust and did not get sick easily. About a year before his death, he started to become unwell with diabetic tendencies etc, and this began a slow but steady downfall in his health. Eventually he became weak enough and he suffered a fatal heart attack. The above is how his health record and death would officially appear. Information has been received which indicates a quite different scenario.

Rey Buena as boss of the Daanbantayan Lands Office, would have been aware of the NBI enquiries into Malu & Vic Loot's land holdings in Daanbantayan around 2008 - 2009. Perhaps not known to him at the time would be the reason the NBI was investigating, ie as part of a lifestyle check on the couple. Eventually in March 2009 both Malu & Vic were charged by NBI with four criminal charges relating to undeclared income, assets and other matters. These charges are still with the Ombudsman in Manila awaiting the issue of a subpoena for Malu & Vic to appear in court. The charges were laid after very compelling evidence was uncovered by NBI investigators. See these links for more details of the "Crimes Committed" by Malu & Vic.http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=197379973652509&set=p.197379973652509&type=1&theaterhttp://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=197380353652471&set=p.197380353652471&type=1&theaterhttp://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=197381293652377&set=p.197381293652377&type=1&theaterIt is alleged that Malu has since bribed barristers & officials in the Ombudsmans office to ensure the case never went to court. With the recent resignation of the Ombudsman in Manila (for alleged corruption), and an acknowledgement by President Noy Noy strongly stating that he wanted all persons involved in corrupt and illegal activities brought to justice, then it is hoped that the recently appointed new Ombudsman will make the case against the Loots move to the courtroom, at long last.

With regard to the NBI investigations, Malu & Vic took great personal offence at being investigated by NBI and as the evidence shows, having it revealed publicly that they committed criminal acts relating to undeclared income and assets in their joint SALN. Malu allegedly considered the action of Rey Buena to not advise her that the NBI was investigating, as a form of disloyalty, and allegedly decided (effectively making her the Judge, Jury & Executioner) that Rey Buena should be punished by death for not being loyal to her. In actual fact Rey was just doing his job. As far as we can conclude he had been requested by NBI to supply details and told to keep quiet about it. He had no political agenda or association with Malu, so did not deem it necessary to break his code of confidentiality as a Public Servant doing his job.

Malu allegedly finally decided it was payback time after she won the 2010 election (allegedly by massive vote buying, vote shaving and voter intimidation), and she allegedly ordered her black magicians to kill Rey Buena to make it look like a natural death. Obviously Malu did not want attention drawn to her as being involved in Rey's death (or murder actually). Rey Buena was a strong man and the black magicians were not able to kill him outright. He did not easily react or suffer from the attacks imposed by the black magicians. So the black magicians had to steadily work away at Rey, introducing a diabetic condition which gradually weakened him. After nearly a year, Rey Buena had been weakened sufficiently to allow a severe black magic attack to kill him. The black magician attacked Rey's heart and caused a massive and fatal heart attack. The pain Rey felt moments before his death was immense as it ached in his heart muscle and he felt the pain rising up in his throat as the heart attack suddenly took his life. Rey Buena died from heart attack, but the heart attack was allegedly induced by a black magician acting under the orders of Malu Loot to kill Rey.

Malu allegedly finally got her payback for Rey not being loyal to her. To most people Rey's death appeared natural and sudden, and possibly exacerbated by health complications involving his diabetic condition. Allegedly Malu knew otherwise though and gloated over another "kill" as she paid the black magician for the murderous services rendered.

This is a classic scenario of how black magic is used to kill people. When someone is strong and not susceptible to black magic attack, then the black magician will slowly work away at the victim over a period of many many months, little by little weakening the victim until they finally are in a state of poor health and energy depletion where the black magic attack can get through the victims natural defenses and cause serious harm and a fatal heart attack. How evil is Malu, how wicked is she to allegedly order this murder to be carried out. She allegedly knew it would be too obvious if Rey Buena was murdered by conventional means ie gun, but a medically caused death would go unnoticed as murder, and would in no way implicate her. Now we have advice which allegedly does implicate Malu Loot, and publicly reveals another recent murder she has allegedly paid for to be carried out by this evil and ancient form of retribution that the black magicians of Sequijor Island & the surrounding region are capable of doing. You are allegedly evil and wicked Malu.

The family and friends of Rey Buena should be extremely angry to hear that you allegedly murdered their relative and friend.

To the people of Daanbantayan, please do something about this allegedly evil woman, stand up against her and oppose her. Demand openness in governance of this town. Demand an end to murders using guns, knives and black magic. Demand that Malu Loot be accountable for ALL her actions. Ask the President of Philippines Noy Noy to step in and do something about Malu. Ask the Governor of Cebu Gwen Garcia to do something about Malu. Write letters, send emails, send text messages or even visit their offices personally to lodge your complaint about Malu and all the wrong things you feel or know she has done in Daanbantayan. It is only by complaining that you will get action. Officials need complaints in order to act upon, officials cannot just take action themselves on unofficial complaints or hearsay information. The political scene has changed in the Philippines since the last election, and there is a BIG move to eradicate corruption at all levels of society, even in far away isolated Daanbantayan. Authorities are ready & willing to listen to you. Malu is already is serious trouble in many ways and has a bad record with high level authorities. They just need your complaints to start more official & legal action against her & her cronies that will ultimately "bring her regime down".

It is believed that the Governor will provide legal assistance to anyone who is poor and cannot afford a lawyer etc. The message coming from higher authorities is for the townspeople of Daanbantayan to complain, complain, complain, and then you will get the action you want.

If you do nothing then more of your friends and relatives will get murdered in time.

Commercialisation of Black Magic a disgrace says masseuse, Corrupt town developments affected - 30 August 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

An albularyo or hilot (masseuse) says that Malu Loot allegedly uses
Black Magic sorcerers from Sequijor Island & surrounds to carry out
black magic spells on her opponents. "This is a disgrace", says the
person, "to use money like Malu does to pay these people to do evil
deeds to others". It is alleged that Malu uses black
magic sorcerers to injure, maim and even kill her opponents or anyone
who opposes her. The hilot said, "Black magic was never meant to be
used in this commercial way, where an influential and wealthy person
can use their money to pay black magicians to murder people".
Furthermore the hilot stated, "It is an ancient tribal custom used to
settle personal disputes between individuals where a true grievance
exists, rather than a personal or political vendetta. It should now be
outlawed and made illegal in this modern age", says the hilot.

Malu
has allegedly commercialised the use of black magic for political gain
by having a team of black magic practitioners or "specialists" at her
disposal whom she can select from and phone up to order the type of
murder she wants done. There are both male and female black magicians
that Malu allegedly uses, and sometimes she uses more than one black
magician at a time to "get her way". She has recently allegedly used an
old toothless woman, who is bent over and uses a walking stick, and a
man known as a warlord, and another man known as the guru of all black
magicians, and another set of four old women who simultaneously attack
from different directions, so the victim (supposedly) does not stand a
chance of survival, these are a few of the many black magicians that
Malu has allegedly used over the years.

When Malu has an
opponent that she allegedly cannot easily kill or murder by conventional
means, or where their murder would implicate Malu or be too obvious,
she allegedly pays money to a black magician to carry out the murder.
The black magician makes the death look like a natural occurrence,
where the victim suffers a heart attack or serious organ disease or
serious and rapid onset of pneumonia or sepsis etc and dies as a result
of the disease condition, although the condition was deliberately
instigated by black magic activity. Malu is allegedly very
resentful & vindictive, and sometimes, "as a form of payback for
the trouble they caused Malu", the black magician is ordered to
physically impair someone, by giving them pain and suffering as a form
of punishment eg causing them to have a serious joint problem that
requires surgery or other medical conditions that are expensive to
resolve etc. The "modus operandi" of Malu, is allegedly to do anything
to hinder and debilitate her opponents both physically &
financially. The alleged aim of Malu's actions is to stop that person
opposing her ever again in the future and paying them back with some
pain, suffering & financial hardship for their efforts in opposing
her. Sometimes also, Malu will allegedly order that the
black magic attack to be made against relatives or family members of her
opponent, thus deliberately "emotionally hurting" her opponent by
harming their loved ones. This also has the flow on effect whereby the
opponents family member will request the relative to stop fighting
against Malu, as their actions are only bringing disease & financial
difficulty to the family. Usually the pressure from relatives makes the
person "back down" in their opposition to Malu, and this allegedly is
exactly the outcome that Malu is wanting.

Malu also
allegedly uses black magic to make her opponents extremely tired and
exhausted, so they are unable to continue their political actions
against her. Her opponents are often unaware that they are victims of
black magic and just think they are suffering from gross fatigue or even
chronic fatigue because they are so busy, or that perhaps they have
some other debilitating illness. This "fatigue" usually causes them to
back down from or lessen their political involvement, and in so doing,
Malu no longer has that person as a strong opponent. This type of black
magic attack can go on for many days, weeks or even months. Malu
allegedly has a pattern of behaviour where she orders these debilitating
attacks on her opponents whenever she is taking other types of action
against them, or trying to murder them either conventionally or with
black magic, or when she is planning to launch a new corrupt scheme or
project etc. This is done to allegedly weaken her opponents to stop them
from discovering or interfering with her plans, whatever they be at any
point in time

Malu allegedly even has black magic sent to
many people at the same time, so that more than one person receives
the same black magic spell (eg to cause gross fatigue or pneumonia
etc). Spells are even put on family and friends associated with her main
opponents, in order to allegedly create problems and difficulties, bad
health and financial hardship for her opponents, the object being to
cause a situation to develop where her opponent can no longer afford to
oppose her due to other large financial problems or costs eg health
care for sick relatives. Some black magic spells are designed to
cause family members to have emotional conflict (anger, fighting,
arguing etc), and the intention is to cause the marriage or relationship
or friendship to break up or split up, thus that family will no longer
allegedly be a threat to Malu. These are all very evil ways to use black
magic and are allegedly designed to cause maximum havoc to Malu's
opponents. It is even alleged that Malu has had black
magic spells put on the whole of Daanbantayan, in order to keep the
people compliant and force them to loose their own free will and follow
her demands and standover tactics without opposing her. It is indeed a
fact that many townspeople are scared of Malu and have adopted a "do as
Malu says attitude" in order to not incur Malu's wrath etc, so the
townspeople have indeed been suppressed and their own free will has been
replaced by fear & inaction. This "compliance" is alleged to be the
result of long term & continuous black magic spells that Malu has
allegedly had put onto the people of Daanbantayan, so that she can "get
her way" without opposition to her plans & ideas. Without
opponents Malu is free to get her way, which in many cases means she is
allegedly only serving her greedy interests to make more money, and in
the process of doing this Malu demonstrates she has no concern or care
about her poor constituents.

It is also alleged that Malu
paid a black magic woman to teach her how to cast spells, so Malu
herself is an evil black magic sorcerer. Malu has allegedly been seen
chanting spells and throwing special concoctions into a small fireplace
that she has had built into a wall. Her spells and ability are very
limited, so Malu does not have the skill set of a long time black
magician. Many black magicians are born into a family of
sorcerers and the tradition and knowledge is passed down from generation
to generation. One practitioner has said, "Killing people is how I
make my income". Another said, "I have killed many people over the
years for Malu and received payment for the service". Payment is
typically P10,000 to P40,000 for murder. In most cases,
victims of black magic are not even aware they are being attacked, and
unfortunately many do not live to tell the tale of how they were
attacked. This article will act to inform townspeople of the seriousness
and deviousness of this issue, and the evil dirtyness &
underhandedness to which Malu Loot will allegedly stoop to get her way,
all via the alleged use of black magic on unwitting & usually
innocent victims. In most, if not all cases, the victims have done
nothing illegal or in any way harmed Malu directly, as they have simply
acted in political opposition to Malu, who then allegedly uses black
magic to kill, main or injure them, and bring financial hardship &
emotional stress upon them & their families.

For Malu,
the alleged use of black magic at all times is her ultimate weapon. It
is a very important tool she has in her fingertips, which she has
allegedly needed to use in order to stay in political power. Without
the alleged use of black magic, Malu Loot would not have been able to
hold on to power in Daanbantayan for so many years, even with the help
of her allegedly corrupt policeman husband Vic Loot & their various
goons etc. The reality of this whole situation is, if
there was no one to pay to have murders done using black magic, then
the black magic sorcerers would soon be out of business, so it is
allegedly only the wealth, greed and evilness of people like Malu Loot
that keeps this age old practice of black magic going. In Malu's case
she allegedly uses black magic as a tool to keep her in political power
in Daanbantayan when all other methods have failed.

Malu has
also allegedly affected court trials and the health of judges and
attorneys who are involved in hearing cases against her or her
associates or people who have carried out crimes on her behalf and who
have been caught by the law. There is also information to hand that
alleges Malu has used black magic to interfere with the health &
political power of politicians in Manila who oppose her, in order to
bring them down & therefore remove any serious political obstacles
that Malu faces in her progress towards the corrupt plans &
endeavours she is involved with.

To the people of
Daanbantayan, please wake up and accept the fact that this woman, Maria
Louisa Loot, is allegedly an evil person addicted to the ways of the
devil, who allegedly uses these ancient tribal customs to annihilate her
enemies when other ways or methods fail. For any of you to say
these allegations are nonsense, is simply ignoring your own common
sense, as you all know within your hearts and minds what this woman is
capable of, how evil & despicable she allegedly really is, and how
she will allegedly stop at nothing to get her own way. This allegedly
even means using black magicians to kill, main and injure your fellow
townspeople who have had the guts and courage to stand up to her.

Malu
is allegedly nothing short of an egomaniac and a murderess, who will
use any means to kill her opponents, including black magic and more
conventional means such as guns, poison, stabbings & bashings etc.
Allegedly Malu is a very sick woman, who does not know what honesty and
decency is. She is extremely skilled at putting on a facade, a fake
appearance & attitude that can easily fool people into thinking she
is a good human being of good character. She has learnt these skills
from her early days allegedly as a prostitute & a whore, she knows
how to "give the customer what they want", so she continues to use these
skills today to fool politicians, investors and the people of
Daanbantayan into thinking she is only doing good for the town and the
people. She is still allegedly acting as a prostitute by selling out her
integrity and selling out the people of Daanbantayan in return for
payment of money, to make her one of the richest Mayors in the
Philippines. She has allegedly even fooled herself into thinking she is
doing good deeds for the town, but it is only a form of self
justification & validation for the evil & corrupt deeds she
allegedly does, something she personally needs to hear from herself in
order to validate & "make acceptable" her attitudes & her whole
existence.

She is allegedly evil incarnate in the worst possible way. Wake
up now people of Daanbantayan, and do something about this allegedly
evil bitch of a woman. If you do nothing, then more people will die,
this alleged "Military Dictatorship disguised as elected governance"
will never stop, more of your family, friends and relatives will be
allegedly murdered or have their lives ruined by this woman.

Malu
is now poised to bring development to the town through her Malapascua
Resort & Casino plan, but this is allegedly a BIG SCAM, that will
only help her get wealthier, as the cash flow & huge profits will
allegedly be derived from drug & crime activities in south east
Asia. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS WOMAN. The allegedly
corrupt sell off of the Elementary School in Daanbantayan for a new
Shopping Mall, announced in August 2011, is allegedly stage 1 in the
Resort & Casino development, as it will open the doors for the rest
of Malu's allegedly evil & corrupt plans to follow. It will
facilitate her & the investors ability to make these corrupt
developments happen, by having more money, more political clout, more
influence around the town, and a track record of a successful Mall
development etc.

Allegedly the plans for this school/mall
project are all wrong, the supporting documents are all wrong as they
are fakes, Malu has allegedly manipulated land particulars & details
to make it appear that the development conforms to legal requirements,
but these land titles and supporting documents are allegedly fakes. A
comparison of the development application supporting documents against
the original source records will indicate that Malu has allegedly made
changes and had fake land titles etc produced, so as to ensure her
development plans have a smooth flow through council and will be
approved, without any apparent technical reasons to refuse the approval.
Townspeople & authorities should not accept the development plans'
supporting documents & supporting land titles for the amalgamation
of lands etc as legitimate, as they are allegedly fakes. When the real
land titles are looked up in official records, the alleged changes that
Malu has made will be uncovered, eg land dimensions and areas etc have
been altered to fit in with the development application requirements,
and Malu herself will be seen allegedly as a BIG CHEAT AND LIAR.

Townspeople
of Daanbantayan, stand up now & oppose Malu Loot, before she
commits this town to allegedly further rape & prostitution at the
hands of allegedly the biggest whore the town has, Maria Luisa Loot
herself.

As part of the mainland based development plans
for a relocated port, hotel & airport etc, which allegedly relate to
the Malapascua Resort & Casino plan, Malu allegedly plans to use
more black magic to get her way & manipulate land owners with
disease & ill health, to then "persuade or coerce" them to sell off
their lands. She also allegedly plans to involve her husband
General Vic Loot, to use his now much more powerful & autonomous
military & police influence, to coerce landholders in the vicinity
of Maya & Daanbantayan airport, to part with their lands as part of a
government ordered land resumption program. This is allegedly a totally
fictitious land resumption program, and police and military personnel
under orders from Vic, will allegedly be used as "standover men" to
intimidate landowners to hand over their lands. The alleged plan of Malu
is, that the landowners in question will "in ignorance" blindly accept
that the advice given by police & military officials to handover
their lands, thinking it is actually legitimate. There are other
"key or important landowners" in the area, who will allegedly get
special treatment from Malu, as they will be sickened and diseased by
black magic attacks and will then be in financial distress, and will
therefore more easily "succumb" to offers to sell their land. Malu has
allegedly already targetted five landowners, and will initially attack
the two most important ones with black magic, so as to weaken the
resolve of all parties involved & prevent them from resisting her
corrupt land resumption and takeover attempts.

This is
nothing other than a gross manipulation of reality & the free will
of individuals, involving the commercialisation of black magic, all at
the whim of an allegedly corrupt & money hungry Mayor, her husband
& their associates.

Jun Abucay found "real" Malapascua resort plans, Malu allegedly paid black magician to murder him - 23 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Councillor Jun Abucay suddenly & unexpectedly took ill in late May 2011. Within 4 days he was dead from serious internal sepsis and infection. He complained of sudden onset fever, but due to the high cost of medical treatment decided not to seek medical attention immediately. After two days he got so unwell and had a seriously high and dangerous fever, and he was taken to hospital in Cebu. He was extremely weak when he was admitted to hospital and died a day or so later. The infection in his body was so prevalent and Drs were at a loss to treat him adequately in order to save his life. Perhaps if he sought medical attention when he first had a fever, then he may have been able to be saved with antibiotic treatment etc.

His death has been reported as natural (caused by disease) with complications caused by his diabetic condition, but this type of rapid onset serious & deadly disease has all the hallmarks of death by black magic, and it is alleged that Malu Loot ordered one of her black magicians to murder Jun Abucay, as he was going to expose Malu's alternative & corrupt Malapascua Resort plan.

It appears that Jun Abucay found the alternate plans for the Malapascua Island Resort & Casino development & associated ferry terminal locations, that was reported on these pages last December 2010, where Malu Loot was accused of having a publicly approved set of plans which was going to be replaced by an alternative & different non approved set of plans. It was alleged that there was serious fraudulent intent behind these alternative set of plans, and should the public be aware of what Malu intended to do, there would be a huge outcry & opposition to her development scheme.

Jun Abucay being a gentle and mild mannered man, quietly raised his concerns with Malu Loot, but Malu was allegedly not going to entertain his objections, and without realising it, Jun sealed his fate.

The Abucay family own properties and businesses in Maya, and Jun discovered that Malu Loot plans to allegedly move the land based RoRo port site from it's current approved location to another site nearby that benefits her. The new site is sufficiently far away to destroy all the business and trade that islanders currently do at the Abucay family marina/wharf complex and at their provisions store, and probably ruin the business & livelihood of other nearby stores and store owners as well.

Malu allegedly took this as a serious threat that her non approved and underhanded plans would be revealed, and saw this as a major threat to the viability of her allegedly corrupt project going ahead. The project allegedly involves a money laundering scheme from overseas drug, crime & gambling interests with strong connections to organised crime in Japan & Asia. Someone respectable & reliable who was outside of her close circle of "absolutely trusted people in the know" (ie particularly Malu Loot, Zenas Dublin and vested interested parties), now had hard paper based evidence & knowledge of her deception to swap plans and carry out the development based on the non approved plan rather than the approved plan. The general public would be non the wiser until the development was well under way and it would then be too late to stop or change.

We have recently heard that Malu has allegedly received many forged documents relating to land titles and ownership which form part of this overall scheme, involving a land component and ferry terminal on Malapascua Island, as well as a ferry terminal and a land resort component on the mainland. These are allegedly in the vicinity of Maya and the current Daanbantayan airport, which the Loots plan to acquire using forced land takeovers & forged title documents etc.

Shame on you Malu, how wicked are you to allegedly kill one of your own Councillors to protect your allegedly corrupt & illegal scheme. This is disgusting & evil behaviour and so terrible it is difficult to comprehend someone could be so callous to allegedly kill one of her own Councillors who supports her political party.

Malu certainly knew how to allegedly placate the trauma & upset that the Abucay family experienced, as she was very quick to allegedly offer a payment to the Abucay family of P100,000 (one hundred thousand pesos) to cover the costs of his funeral etc.

Allegedly in Malu's opinion she can buy anyone off and stop them creating a fuss about someones death. She also allegedly knows this family is now indebted to her for "giving" them this huge sum of money, and that they will probably be reluctant to complain about Juns death, as Malu would no doubt demand the repayment of the 100,000 pesos. Malu appears to be so caring and generous, but she was allegedly just placating the family and in her opinion allegedly paying for Jun's death with money. She allegedly believes that she was very generous to the family by giving them this amount, because allegedly in Malu's opinion, Jun Abucay would not have earned that amount of money in his future lifetime, so the family is actually better off financially than had he still been alive.

Oh Malu you are allegedly so crude, callous and evil.

People of Daanbantayan, it's time to do something about this allegedly evil woman, she must not be allowed to allegedly continue doing these evil acts unchallenged. She will allegedly kill more people using both black magic & other conventional means to get her way, more of your friends, more of your acquaintances, more of your family members will die in time, if you continue to do nothing and allow her to stay in power. Rise up now and stand firm against her. Demand answers, demand fair & honest governance. Demand an end to the corruption and murders, especially those using black magic which are often passed off as death by natural causes.

Malu Loot too sick to attend court over Cosido matter on Thurs, but plans to attend Vic's party on Sat night - 23 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

The accused Maria Luisa Loot failed to show up for her arraignment hearing in Sandiganbayan at Manila over the Cosido matter, where she is alleged to have unlawfully withheld Cosido's pay in 2003. She was to have appeared in Sandiganbayan at 8:30am on Thursday 21 July 2011, but Loot sent her lawyer to attend, who presented a medical certificate to explain Loot's non attendance on medical grounds.

Loot through her lawyer filed an Omnibus motion, details of that motion will be obtained and published here when available.

So it appears that this is the first admittance by Malu in some time that she is sick, despite many assertions from her over the recent months that she is well and fit for duty in the Municipio.Now only two days later, will she be well enough to attend Vic's birthday and thanksgiving celebration party for his promotion to General ? It's not like Malu to miss a chance to brag and show off, so we expect she will attend, and guests can get a chance to see how healthy or unhealthy she really is.

Loots celebrate Vic's bithday & promotion to General - his promotion is an alleged scam though - 23 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Tonight Saturday 23 July 2011, Malu has arranged a big party in the Daanbantayan town Plaza/Cultural Center, a sort of double celebration for Vic Loot's birthday and "thanksgiving" for his promotion to a one star General. Malu wants to make sure that everyone in town is well aware of Vic being a General, and has already held celebrations a few weeks ago in the town, where banners were hung all around the town announcing Vic's promotion to General.

His promotion though is allegedly a "scam", and most people in Daanbantayan would say he is not worthy of this promotion, because he is allegedly a person of bad character, of poor morals, and is highly unethical. Many people in Daanbantayan also claim he is allegedly a murderer who has arranged, planned and masterminded many murders of political opponents of his wife Maria Luisa Loot, to prevent them from interfering with her career as a Mayor. It is alleged by many people that Malu Loot provides Vic with large sums of money (on an ongoing basis over many years) to pay these killers, and to pay a large network of professionals, media, forgers, gangsters, politicians, police, military officials & people from all walks of life, who "protect" Malu & Vic by ignoring their underhanded actions over the years, in exchange of course for cash payments totalling millions of pesos over the years. There is alleged corruption, allegedly used by the Loot's, existing at the lowest and the highest levels of the police force, military force & political scene in Cebu & Manila, even extending right into Malacanang Palace.

Hopefully with the new political regime in place in Manila since the 2010 election result, these corrupt "connections" will rapidly disintegrate as old cronies loose their jobs or retire to avoid criminal convictions. It has even been alleged that Malu & Vic used "their friends" Sec Puno and ex President Ramos to cheat the system at the highest levels of government, all of course for exchange of money, in what would appear to be legitimate transactions eg donations of millions of pesos to the Kampi party etc, but which most people consider and allege to just be bribery.

Vic claims an unblemished record during his career. Others claim that there have been many poor actions & incompetence carried out by Vic over the years which should have been on his police record. Allegedly Vic has engaged people over the years to "totally rewrite and fabricate an unblemished record of his career in the police & military". This forger (who was allegedly employed by Vic) rewrote the whole record book, and in the process removed all the bad entries that had been made about Vic Loot, common knowledge of which has been lost in the course of time, and Vic also allegedly made sure that any paper works associated with such poor actions and incompetence were conveniently lost and/or destroyed.

Vic's promotion had been "on hold" in Napolcom for over 2 years, as he was under investigation for a number of various corrupt & illegal activities, including four serious criminal Graft & Corruption charges as determined by a very thorough investigation done by NBI. It is alleged that Malu bribed lawyers in the Ombudsmans office in Manila to "bury the case" and stop it from proceeding to a court where and when Malu & Vic would be subpoenaed to attend, to prove their innocence, if they could. The Graft case against them was very strong and compelling to find them guilty, so they had to allegedly stop the matter proceeding at any cost.

Malu allegedly used her contacts in Manila to have a Senator change the laws to allow officers under investigation for over 2 years without any activity having happened regarding the investigation, to be allowed to be promoted. Malu allegedly argued that Vic's failure to have been promoted, was a "political action" and done purely for political purposes to harrass her & Vic, rather than there being anything factual in the charges against Vic. Malu & Vic then allegedly used their collective "clout & friendship" to have the current PNP Chief propose that a certain level of PNP Admin Directors in various regions be promoted to Generals. This was clearly a ploy to allow Vic Loot to be promoted, as he just so happened to fall into the category & rank of Directors being recommended for promotion. As the new law now allowed him to be promoted, then the current President was "obliged" to sign the all encompassing order that promoted many people to Generals.

You could say this was allegedly a "con job" at the highest level of Philippine law, politics & governance of the whole country. It paints a sorry picture for the status of the Philippine nation when alleged crooks & criminals such as the Loot's are allowed to dictate policy to lawmakers, politicians & leaders, allegedly for the exchange of money for favours.

Malu allegedly has ulterior motives, as she is again instilling the "fear factor" into people, and asserting her power is even bigger & stronger than before, because her husband is now a General. Townspeople of Daanbantayan know a General can function autonomously and carry out operations that he devises etc, so with a large degree of official power instilled in Vic by his rank, the townspeople tend to fear the combined team of Malu & Vic. Is this true in reality ?

Well the reality is that Malu has allegedly been ordering Vic around & telling him what to do as a General to help her carry out her allegedly corrupt and illegal plans in and around the town of Daanbantayan. Malu believes that Vic has great power as a General, and that no military or police officials would dare to disobey his orders, no matter how suspicious or inappropriate or invalid & contradictory to the law of the land, that any of these orders would be. Malu allegedly wants Vic to use military & police personnel, supposedly acting in an official government capacity, to "assist" in achieving her takeover of various landholdings, and "assist" to track down opposition team members & intercept their communications, & do even worse evil deeds.

Vic you had better be careful, you just finally got to be a General, and straight away you are risking to loose being a General. People are watching how you perform as a General, you better be careful, it may be better for you to have nothing more to do with Malu, she will only take you down with her when she falls from power. Get out now Vic while you still can, and have nothing more to do with Malu. You allegedly have a young Thai wife & child, go and spend your time with her, instead of arranging to kill more people for Malu, or to harass and hinder constituents of Daanbantayan to handover their properties etc.

Malu allegedly illegally spies on opponents using electronic equipment - 23 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

This may be a one year old story, but is still relevant today (at July 2011). It is derived heavily from the Daanbantayan Secrets & Revelations document, with additional information.

In the lead up to the 2010 elections, Malu's Keeper of Security, Boy Pepito Tambok, was allegedly involved in organising the theft of a opposition team members mobile phone, and placed a miniature electronic listening & transmitting device into the phone. The phone was then returned a few days later to the owner under the pretext it had been found in the street & was being returned as a "good samaritan act". The phone had in reality allegedly been stolen by a traitor & handed to Boy Tambok for the implanting of a bug. This was a deliberate act of treachery & deceit planned and instigated allegedly by Malu Loot. She had allegedly ordered her people to "get more information" regarding the oppositions contact people, their plans & activities etc. She wanted any information about the oppositions activities so she could thwart their attempts to win the election by any means, including allegedly illegal activities such as attempted murder, bashings, intimidation & bribery.

This type of electronic eavesdropping is illegal under Philippine law, not even Mayors are allowed to do this. Police etc with suitable warrants and permissions from a Judge may be able to "tap into peoples phone calls" but there was no warrant and no official legal police or similar investigation being carried out here.

Further to this it is alleged that Malu Loot was seen wearing small red headphones and listening to the intercepted voice conversations, so she was actively aware of "what was going on".

We will not elaborate on details here, but the opposition "smelt a rat" immediately, and played along with Malu by making many phone calls with misleading & false information being mentioned. Malu was aghast at what she thought the opposition was going to do, she even had one critical member of her team, Zenas Dublin, ordered to stay inside and he was given a number of security guards to supposedly protect him from what Malu "thought" was going to happen. Malu thought she had the upper hand, but it was the other way around, the opposition were playing with her with this big "reverse sting" that backfired on Malu.

Why is this matter still relevant today, because Malu is allegedly enagaged in such activities again, but on an even bigger scale. Unfortunately for Malu, the opposition know about it, and "whispers" from the Loot camp, indicate that the attempts to intercept & gain information by allegedly illegal means using electronic eavesdropping equipment, has not been very successful. More to come in follow up reports.

Request to Mayor Maria Luisa Loot, the Vice Mayor, Councillors & Barangay officials of Daanbantayan, to resign - 23 July 2011This
article/letter was originally published on Facebook

Dear Maria Luisa Loot & the current Councillors of Daanbantayan & Barangay officials who are members of the Loot team

We represent the people of Daanbantayan, and we hereby call upon you all to resign immediately from your positions of Mayor, Vice Mayor, Councillors & Barangay officials. We believe you all have no legitimate claim to these positions of public office. We believe you all have allegedly acted illegally & corruptly to obtain these positions, by means of allegedly buying and rigging the election vote and intimidating voters to vote for you, and apart from that have allegedly not carried out your duties in an honest and trustworthy and decent manner. We believe you all have allegedly not upheld the position of trust that being a member of a governing body of a town implies & imposes.

Furthermore it has been proven beyond the doubts of the National Bureau of Investigation Anti Graft Division (NBI), that Maria Luisa Loot and Vicente Loot are allegedly guilty of four criminal counts of Graft and Corruption and as such should be deemed unfit persons to hold public office. Furthermore the fellow Councillors & officials who hold office alongside Ma Luisa Loot, go along with her allegedly corrupt activities & turn a blind eye to them, of which tolerance of illegal fishing is one of the towns biggest complaints, coupled with the allegedly huge amounts of bribe money that is paid to Ma Luisa Loot and her representatives, allegedly in particular Zenas Dublin. There are many other matters that could be cited, allegedly such as: ineffective management, standover tactics, lying, cheating, falsifying records, corrupt land dealings & development, misappropriation of funds, alleged murders or accessories to murder and generally speaking utilising the power vested in the positions you hold in an inappropriate way to benefit yourselves & your personal gain, rather than acting absolutely in the total interests of the people and for the people of Daanbantayan.

We call upon you all to resign immediately. Do you have the guts to be honest with the people of Daanbantayan ? Do you have the guts to tell the people of Daanbantayan all the evil & corrupt things you have allegedly done during your term or terms of office ? Do you have the guts to be decent citizens ? Do you have the guts to be honest with your neighbours & friends ? We the people of Daanbantayan are not fooled by your pretence of acting correctly, when you are allegedly acting corruptly. By continuing to act the way you do, you are only putting yourselves to more shame !

In the name of God and common decency, do the right thing and step down and pave the way for new open, independent, unbiased and honest governance of this town.

Yours Faithfully Seventy thousand concerned citizens of Daanbantayan

MALU IS ALLEGEDLY A BLACK MAGICIAN, WITH VERY LIMITED SKILLS - 20 JULY 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Malu has learnt some black magic spells from an old “black magic
woman”, who is toothless & walks with a stick that has charms
dangling from it. Malu has been observed throwing concoctions into a
small fire she has in a wall. She uses black magic to make her
enemies sick & stop them opposing her. She even uses powerful black
magicians to kill people that have refused to "do what Malu says". Big
money is paid to various black magicians, mainly from Sequijor Island,
to do her evil bidding. She has used black magic many times in the past
to “get her way” with people, and "do away" with people. This old black
magic woman has killed many people for Malu over the years. These deaths
appear "natural", but are the result of black magic attacks. This
demonstrates the evil intentions of Malu, to force her will on other
people by any means possible. She has forgotten that GOOD always
overcomes evil, that GOD will always overcome the devil ! It is time for
God to strike you down Malu.

Zendu, Wanna be Priest turned greedy - 20 July 2011

This article is an excerpt from http://sites.google.com/site/b​alitabantay/Home/downloads/Daa​nbantayan-Secrets-9-May-2010.p​dfZenas has been planning Malu’s 2010 election strategy, what image to present to the people for the best gain. Some things are not being revealed by Zenas before the 2010 election, and will only be revealed after the election. If the people found out about some development plans that Zenas has created for Malu, then Malu’s team will loose massive support and there would be a huge swing of voters away from Malu. Zenas even acknowledges to himself that he is a bad person. From wanting to be a Priest, he dropped out of life in the seminary to become Malu’s right hand man. He has sold his soul and used his brain for evil doings. He observed that even the church was corrupt, so he decided to really become corrupt and reap the financial benefits of being with Malu. It is easily observed that Zenas drinks a lot. He does so to cover up the internal pain and remorse that he suffers when he does all the evil and nasty and corrupt things for Malu. The drink numbs his system and allows him to have some sort of saneness, although he is often foggy and fuzzy in his head with all the alcohol he consumes. Zenas is the manipulator of figures, Gogong discovered this about him. Gogong found out that Zenas was changing titles on beach front land to ultimately benefit Malu. Zenas has secretly supplied us with information about a land release that only he and Malu knew about and were keeping secret. Malu plans to sell off some land cheaply, and this will really upset the people that it got sold off so cheaply. Zenas was the one who told the opposition where the plans are kept inside Malu’s office, he said they were in her metal filing cabinet, they are plans for redevelopment of a site. Both Zenas and Malu know that if the public knew about this plan, it would cause Malu to loose the 2010 election. Zenas has realised the harm and damage that this development on Logon Island will do to Daanbantayan. On the surface it looks like a good thing, but it is simply making a lot of money for Maluyang. She plans to change the approved public plans, with an altered set of plans and give the developer a large chunk of public land for virtually free, just by moving a boundary line on the drawing plans. This development also involves corrupt crime money laundering from overseas and Zenas knows that this will not be good for the Philippines, as it will allow foreign crime to get a foothold in the Philippines, all because of Malu’s greedy intentions. Zenas is very scared of Malu and is hoping his involvement in leaking this information will not be revealed. Sorry Zenas, but it had to be made public for the good of the people of Daanbantayan and Cebu. There is also another set of plans for a big development at Bateria that involves a Fishing and Port complex. No one knows about this, but Zenas has been secretly and quietly changing titles on land in the area, so parcels of land can be amalgamated, to come under the ownership of the Municipality, and sold to the developers. Again on the surface it looks legitimate, but there are underhanded actions going on to bring this about. In 2010 there have been some problems with how it is all coming together. Malu is very bothered by these difficulties, as she thought the matter had been previously resolved. Malu planted a listening device into an opposition team persons phone in the lead up to the 2010 election, and she overheard a conversation about this subject. She lamblasted Zenas severely, but Zenas denied that he leaked the information. Zenas was the person who told our informant where to find the plans and what it was all about, but Malu moved the plans after she learnt of our knowledge about them. Zenas has had enough of this lifestyle that he has been leading, doing Malu’s dirtywork and scheming. Zenas was also involved in assisting with Gogongs murder, indirectly. Zenas more recently has been manipulating the budget figures. The problem is they simply do not balance. A rigorous analysis of the budget figures shows they are very, very wrong. The opposition team has been attacking the budget book that Malu gave councillors, so this issue has already been partly exposed, but those discoveries are only the “tip of the iceberg”. There are many more irregularities to be discovered if a professional accountant were to review all the figures thoroughly.

WHISPERS ABOUT WHISPERS, MALU IS FURIOUS ABOUT ALL THE WHISPERS GOING ON ABOUT HER BEHIND HER BACK - 19 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Malu cannot tolerate people whispering about her, even her own people are talking about her & the articles they are reading on Ang Parola sa Daanbantayan Facebook & bantay.blogsite.org website. Malu is so egotistical she feels no one should talk about her, & anyone publishing stories should be punished. She has ordered her "on call" black magicians on Sequijor to attack & debilitate those she believes are responsible. Malu does not really know who is behind these websites, she is just guessing. Despite these efforts, she has not been able to stop the website stories from being published. Obviously hearing and reading the uncensored truth about her wrongdoings is bruising her ego & reducing her credibility amongst her supporters & financiers. Shame on you Malu ! It seems like the truth hurts !

VIC RUNS TO ANOTHER WOMAN DESPITE MALU ALLEGEDLY BUYING HIS PROMOTION TO GENERAL - 18 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

Heard more whispers that only a week after being promoted, General Vic was spotted in a compromising situation with a woman. It was not his wife Malu that he had been in bed with, but allegedly his other young Thai wife in her early 20's. He was seen putting his "Generals pants" back on after being in bed with her. Malu thought she had "bought" Vics loyalty by allegedly using her contacts in Manila to have him promoted to General, despite him being denied a promotion by Napolcom. Vic is double crossing Malu, but Malu seems to go along with it because she is using him by allegedly ordering Vic to carry out corrupt activities to help her acquire more landholdings & carry out murders of her opponents. Looks like they are using each other for whatever benefits they can each get. Are they two fools on a road to doom, you decide ?

MALU IS SCARED, GETS VERY BIG DIAMOND RING - 18 July 2011This
article was originally published by AP on FacebookHeard whispers around DB that Malu is getting a very, very big diamond ring, supposedly to protect her from black magic attacks. She is really very scared because she is having so many problems, she is scared of dying of cancer, she is scared of being arrested, she is scared of being caught for her evil illegal deeds, she is scared of loosing all her wealth. She blames black magic for everything that has happened to her, and wants a bigger diamond to give her more protection & make all the "bad things go away". These happenings are your karma Malu, that you have manifested by your actions, you cannot change the will of God. Better that you atone for your sins before it is too late. We have not heard of anyone doing black magic to Malu, but we have heard of Malu doing black magic to many people she wants to destroy simply because they oppose her & her evil ways. How wicked is she ! How scared is she !

Malu Loot health worsens, cancer is spreading, & now has aortic aneurysm - 17 July 2011This
article was originally published by LC on Facebook & is republished here with grammatical correctionsMy medico friends have told me that Malou has what appears to them to be an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, that is a large blood vessel that could burst & cause instant death.Also Malou has complained of pain in the neck & this appears to be the lymph system where cancer has spread, called a lymphoma. This is a sign of further spread of the cancer in her body.It seems Malou will die from the cancer soon because it is rapidly spreading through her body.She might die first from the aorta rupturing, my medico friends said if the aorta ruptures she will bleed from every hole in her body & die suffering, but quickly.It seems Malou wants to keep her serious health condition a big secret, but everyone in DB (Daanbantayan) knows about it, so who is she fooling, only herself !

Daanbantayan Mayor Maria Luisa Loot, & at least 10 others face admin raps- 17 July 2011 (first published 9 June 2011)CEBU, Philippines -Daanbantayan Mayor Maria Luisa Loot and several other municipal and barangay officials have been charged administratively before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for closing the waterworks system in Barangay Tapilon, Daanbantayan last April 25. Claro Benatiro, chairman of the Board of Directors of Tapilon Rural Waterworks and Sanitation Association (TARWASA) Incorporated, alleged that Loot violated the law when she insisted to padlock their waterworks system despite a status quo order from the court. Benatiro said Loot and the other respondents ignored the status quo order issued by the Regional Trial Court (RTC) in Bogo City for Loot to refrain from implementing the cease and desist order against TARWASA pending resolution of the case, which is pending before the court. The other respondents in the administrative case before the Ombudsman are municipal Councilor Zenas Dublin, municipal administrator Mamerto Rodrigo, Tapilon barangay captain Arturo Conejos, barangay councilmen Sauhl Dionne Punay, Prospero Alalim, Expedito Dualos, Tiburcio Monzales, Rodelio Eturma, Paquito Diano, Mark Anthony Luche and several municipal employees who implemented the mayor’s closure order.

Loot claimed earlier that the water system lacks the certificate of franchise from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), the government agency tasked to supervise the operation of rural waterworks and sanitation associations. The system also allegedly failed to secure franchise from the National Water Resources Board. But Benatiro argued that Loot should comply with the court’s order and her move to close the waterworks system last April 25 is a “clear display of arrogance, tyranny, grave abuse of authority, oppresive conduct and violation of the property rights.” Benatiro claimed that under Executive Order 869, the rural waterworks are exempted from obtaining national and local permits, including national and local taxes.

Loot said the closure of the barangay waterworks system in Tapilon is due to the failure of its officials to secure the necessary authority to operate and had no permit from the municipality. Benatiro, a former police official, asked the graft investigators to place Loot and the other respondents under preventive suspension so they could not use their position to intimidate and harass the complainants TARWASA officers and employees, much more to their witnesses.

Because the complaint of Benatiro was filed only last Tuesday, the respondents have not yet received copies of the complaints. A similar case is also pending before the RTC in Bogo City. Benatiro said the acts shown by Loot and the other respondents that resulted to the untimely stoppage of the water distribution of the water supply is a clear violation of the law. In an interview with The FREEMAN, Loot said the case against her is political harassment, considering that a case on the same issue is still pending in court. She insisted that the municipal government was simply exercising its responsibility to deny the operation in the absence of a certificate of franchise. She said she will answer the charges when directed to do so by the Ombudsman, but warned she will get back at those who had subjected her to unnecessary hassle. “Ako ra na tubagon. Didto makita kung asa ang administrative (violation)…. Klaro kayo… purely harassment…kung wala silay mai-prove nako, panilngon nako sila sa tanang kahasol nga ilang gihatag nako,” Loot said.

CEBU, Philippines - Daanbantayan Mayor Maria Luisa
Loot posted a bail of P30,000 after a warrant of arrest was issued by
the Sandiganbayan against her for an anti-graft case.

Judge Victor Teves sign the order of release of Loot last April 28, 2011.

It was the Sandiganbayan 1st Division that issued the warrant of arrest against Loot on May 25, 2011.

Division Chairman Associate Justice Efren dela Cruz and members
Rodolfo Ponferrada and Rafael Lagos found probable cause after they
evaluated the resolution made by an anti-graft prosecutor of the office
of the Ombudsman.

“After personally perusing the information and evaluating the
resolution of the prosecutor, its supporting evidence and the records of
the preliminary investigation attached thereto, it appears that
sufficient grounds exist for the finding of probable cause for the
purpose of issuing the warrant of arrest against Loot,” the order of
justices read.

Loot was charged after allegedly taking advantage of her position in
refusing to sign the Daily Time Record of Jeronimo Cosido, a permanent
employee of Daanbantayan, starting July 16, 2003 resulting to the
withholding of the salaries of Cosido.

The unpaid salaries and allowances of Cosido from July 16 to October 8, 2003 amounted to P17,806.35.

Malu Loot very worried about future, consults leading Clairvoyant - 4 July 2011This
article was originally published on Facebook

News coming from Malu Loot is that she is very worried about her future. A few
months back, Malu went to see a famous clairvoyant in Cebu, to seek advice about
what the future held for her. The information she received was not good and various warnings were given to her.

Apparently
Malu had not previously consulted with clairvoyants, as she was always so self assured
of her plans and direction in life. As far as she was concerned, she did not
need anyone to tell her what was going to happen, because she was in control and
she would be the only person to decide what was going to happen. Her usual style
is to allegedly buy whatever outcome she desired, so she didn’t need advice from
clairvoyants. As far as she was concerned money can allegedly buy anything or
anyone. But now she is concerned and fearful about her future, she wanted to see for herself what the future held, so she could do something to change the outcome. Many things have not been going the way Malu wanted them to, and she has even discovered that money cannot buy everything.

PNP needs to "clean up" their ranks - 2 July 2011This
article was originally published by AP on Facebook & is republished here with legal correctionsPNP needs to clean up their senior ranks too - In my opinion huh. They need to clean the upper ranks starting with the allegedly "fake" General Vic Loot. By allegedly following orders from his allegedly evil & corrupt wife Ma Luisa Loot, he has allegedly done more criminal activity & wrongdoings than probably any other PNP policeman in the whole of the Philippines. He is allegedly akin to a professional criminal, aided and abetted by his senior rank in the PNP, and his network of bribed officials who turn a blind eye to his illegal activities. Who is Vic's boss, is it Camp Crame ? No way, it is allegedly Maria Luisa Loot who issues orders to him to carry out her dirty work.More information that relates to these comments can be found in this article http://sites.google.com/site/balitabantay/Home/downloads/Daanbantayan-Secrets-9-May-2010.pdf

Malu Loot "in denial" about cancer - 25 June 2011This
article was originally published by LC on Facebook & is republished here with grammatical correctionsMy medico friends have told me that Malou is in denial about the spread of cancer to the bones in her leg & back. They said Madam is saying things like, "It is not supposed to be this way", and "This is not how it is supposed to be working out". Madam has also been having headaches and eyesight problems lately & my medico friends said there is a tumour in the back of her brain. Malou also has severe stomach pain, because the cancer is now in her stomach.They are telling me that this is very serious, as the cancer has now spread to many places in Malou's body, (called metastasis) & the treatment she is having is not stopping the spread of cancer.When this happens my medico friends say the patient usually dies within 1 yr or less as the immune system is weak & other diseases will happen. This is your karma Malou. God bless you, please start atoning for your sins, your time left on this earth is short.

What makes this matter worse is that Malou should have gone overseas for more aggressive medical treatment, but she wanted to stay in Cebu so she could keep control of the political situation in Daanbantayan. It seems that holding on to power in DB is more important than her health. At the rate it is progressing, this disease will kill you soon Malou, you will not be a Mayor anymore then, so what's wrong with your thinking ?

Loot has been heard on Bantay Radyo berating & lamblasting Col. Hiram Benatiro and the TARWASSA Board members regarding the recent case filed against her relating to the forced takeover of Tarwassa by Ma Luisa Loot and her supporters.Loot is obviously hurt & scared by this recent case, following her arrest and subsequent bailing in late April 2011 over another matter from 2003 involving Jeronimo Cosido. Loot thought the TARWASSA matter was "under control" in the courts, but it has come back to haunt her just when she does not want any political "bad news" or problems in the lead up to announcing her controversial plans to develop a Resort and Casino on Malapascua Island.

Loot decided to take matters into her own hands and ignore a court order that she did not take any action against TARWASSA. Loot continues to justify her actions by quoting laws and statutes that do not apply to the TARWASSA situation, and she carefully and deliberately chooses to ignore the claims by TARWASSA that it is exempt under the law from needing various permits & other requirements. As is usually the case, Ma Luisa Loot quotes the law as it suits her requirements, rather than stating the real truth of the matter. In this case it appears that Loot has blatantly taken over the TARWASSA water system without authority, right from day one when this whole debacle of standover tactics began, and Loot continues to ignore the law throughout the whole length of time this saga has been running. Hopefully the courts will eventually render a just and fair verdict in favour of the current and longstanding and legitimate TARWASSA water system owners (the people), and dismiss Ma Luisa Loot's claims of ownership.

Sun Shimura & his new wife are unhappy with Malu Loot's dominating behavior - 10 June 2011This
article was originally published on FacebookSince late 2009, we have had many indications from Malu's supporters that they are very unhappy with the way she does business & runs the Daanbantayan Council. Now it seems that Malu's erratic & dominating behavior is even causing rifts among family members.

Whispers have been heard coming from Malu's most beloved son from her earlier marriage, Sun Shimura, that he has apparently "had enough" of Malu's bad & dominating behavior &
does not really want anything more to do with her. He has indicated that he wants to stay
away from all the stress & problems that Malu causes the people around her. It seems that Sun is under too much pressure from his dominating
mother. Since his recent marriage, even his new wife wants him to have less
to do with Malu and is demanding he stay away from Malu. Sun has told us that there is some sort of stress induced fertility or sterility problem that is interfering with with the couples ability to conceive a baby.

We have also learnt that Malu herself is unhappy with Sun having recently married, and does not approve of the new wife. Malu is very annoyed that she has lost "possession" of her son and now has to concede that Sun's new wife will take up much of his time, leaving Sun to give less attention to Malu's demands. It sounds like the typical "jealous mother in law scenario", where the new daughter in law is despised by the mother.

Come on Malu, not only are you you are allegedly wrecking havoc on the people of Daanbantayan with your allegedly corrupt & dictatorial leadership style, but you are also interfering with the personal life of your dearly beloved son & his new wife. Wake up Malu, you are very sick with cancer that is not responding well to all the treatments you are having. At the present rate of progression of the spread of cancer throughout your body, you may not see another year alive on this planet before the disease claims your life, so leave the couple alone to get on with their life. If you are not careful, you may be carried out in a coffin before you get to see a new grandchild. You should really step down from the position of Mayor and concentrate on fighting the serious life threatening disease you now have, rather than making life difficult for Sun Sun & his new wife. Look what you have done now, you have even turned Sun Sun away from you.

Malu Loot lamblasts Cosido family on Bantay Radyo - 8 June 2011This article was originally published on the Facebook page of Ang Parola sa Daanbantayan & is reproduced here with additions

Malu has been heard on Bantay Radyo berating & lamblasting Ronnie & Bart Cosido, Itok Corro & Rossani Luche, following her April 2011 arrest for an anti graft case involving the withholding of salaries of Jeronimo Cosido in 2003. The original case was dismissed allegedly following a P1million payout by Malu to affect the outcome, but on appeal, the Sandiganbayan 1st Division found probable cause after re-evaluating the evidence & records of the preliminary investigation. They found sufficient grounds existed for the finding of probable cause for the purpose of issuing the warrant of arrest against Loot.Malu, stop blaming others for your wrongful deeds, you have been caught out now, so start accepting that the person to blame is yourself, you were the one who vindictively attacked the Cosido family following their complaints about your unjust & unlawful increase in taxes way back in 2003.See previous posts here on the topic.

Vic & Malu's relationship as a traditionally married couple is allegedly over. He allegedly hates & despises her & considers her to be an ugly old cow who talks too much & shouts orders at him all the time. He allegedly cannot tolerate listening to her anymore & is absolutely disgusted by her.

Vic only stays with her for the power & the money, as she allegedly gives him the money to pay the people in their extensive protection & bribery network. Vic has double crossed Malu, as he has allegedly been siphoning off money to his own secret overseas bank account for his own plans in retirement without her. She wondered why so much more money was needed to keep their protection network under control, and this is the reason why.

Vic has a secret he only told to one person (who has since died of natural causes), but before they died that secret was passed on to others. Around 2003 or 2004 Vic travelled overseas on military police business & ended up in a south east Asian country, that has been experiencing political turmoil with their leader. Despite already being supposedly legally married to Malu, Vic allegedly met & married a young slim petite teenage girl, who had his child, a boy, who is about 6 or 7 years old (in 2010). Vic purportedly became a citizen of that country due to his marriage & has a passport, so effectively he is a dual citizenship holder. His other wife only knows that he is a businessman involved in importing & exporting & that is why he is away for long periods of time. His life in the Philippines as a policeman is unknown to his other wife & son. Vic purportedly purchased a small upcoming tourist resort in a town south of the capitol city, in an area that is a tax haven, & with the money he has allegedly siphoned from Malu, he plans to build a much larger tourist resort and live a happy retired life with his young wife & family. Vic is believed to use a secret phone to regularly call his other wife. He used to visit her when he travelled overseas on military police business, by flying to another major south east Asian city on his Philippines passport, & then flying out on his other nationality passport, so that his path could allegedly not be traced. Vic had not seen his other wife for 2 years or so (as at early 2010), perhaps because of problems that stemmed from Gogongs murder, and the need to “keep an eye on developments” to ensure that he is not implicated in the murder.

Vic purportedly has no intention of retiring with Malu, he plans to go to the south east Asian country to live with his other wife & son & never be heard of again. He already has a small fortune put away in the overseas bank account so is ready to go anytime. In Vic's words, "There is no way I would want to stay with that old cow Malu in my old age."

Vic wants to distance himself further from Malu, and will try to shift blame from himself over Gogongs murder and only implicate Malu.

Following the public release of the Secrets and Revelations document in October 2010, Vic & Malu argued furiously about the allegations made. Vic strenuously denied that he had a wife & child overseas, & while it appeared that Malu may have accepted his denials, Malu privately believes that Vic is lying & that he does indeed have another wife & child, and that he has been secretly stashing away her money into his private overseas bank account.

Further information has been obtained which indicates that since Vic was forcibly moved to Samar for his career policeman job in mid 2010, he availed of this opportunity to be away from the prying eyes of Malu, and was able to bring his alleged young second wife closer to the Philippines, so Vic could more easily travel to meet up with her from time to time, to keep their relationship alive.

Vic is leading a double life. He believes he has fooled Malu into accepting that he does not have a second wife (& young child). Malu knows otherwise though, as she believes the allegations are true. She was initially deeply hurt to learn that Vic deceived her, but her tough nature quickly resolved to punish Vic when the "time was right".

Malu threatened Vic, and allegedly coerced him to keep assisting with her "dirty work" requirements, in particular the alleged planning & carrying out the murder of one of Malu's most vocal critics. Numerous murder plots allegedly arranged by Vic Loot & Malu, both seperately and in conjunction with each other have been unearthed. Malu threatened to expose Vic regarding various alleged underhanded activities he had been previously involved with, if he did not continue to assist Malu with her "dirty work" requirements. Vic had no choice but to obviously comply with Malu's "orders".

Malu plans to "pay Vic back" for his deception. It has been discovered that after Vic allegedly has Malu's critic murdered by conventional means, Malu allegedly intends to have Vic murdered using Black Magic. Malu is very angry that Vic has deceived her and "in effect" stolen large sums of money from her. Vic had better watch out for himself, as the whispers coming out of the Loot camp say that Malu is currently very busy using Black Magic against those who have "crossed" her in one way or another, it may be Vic's turn soon.

While Vic & Malu have been seen in company at various functions & when travelling on plane flights to Manila etc, this is just a public relations exercise, designed to make their marriage still appear bona fide. Vic was extremely upset that his promotion to General has been put on hold indefinitely, and it is alleged that some of their trips to Manila have been to seek favours from political friends to have Vic promoted, despite the fact that there are many legal cases outstanding against Vic, and under those circumstances he cannot be promoted. Vic blames Malu for missing out on his promotion to General, stemming from the furor created politically & publically after Gogongs murder, as well as other matters.

From information received, Vic & Malu have allegedly not lived as a couple since early 2010 (or even earlier), their marriage is effectively over, and there is much animosity & hatredness held by each towards the other. Based on the reports that Vic has married another woman, then he is allegedly a bigamist.

Malu is not happy about the revelations made that Vic has double crossed her financially & emotionally, and has such a low opinion of her, and hates and despises her.

Regarding the future viability of the Loot couple to hold on to power in Daanbantayan, and suggestions by Malu that Vic run for Mayor in the next election in 2013, these are very fanciful imaginations of Malu. There is no solidity or stability in their relationship that would in any way suggest this couple could have the emotional stability or ongoing power base to manage and hold on to the position of Mayor of Daanbantayan.

In addition, Malu is reportedly suffering advanced cancer, which has progressed through her body to a stage of being life threatening, so it may be that Malu is dead from this disease by mid 2012. The present rate of progession of the disease and the lack of success of the extremely strong medical treatments she is having (chemotherapy & radium) to eradicate the cancer, are not good signs for her long term survival. This illness has put more pressure on the relationship between Vic & Malu.

Although so far Malu is publicly denying that she is ill, recent appearances by her in public show that Malu is looking extremely unwell and very pale & sickly, which do support the allegations that she is gravely ill.

MALU LOOT HEALTH UPDATE - 7 June 2011

This article was originally published by LC on the Facebook
Wall page of Ang Parola sa Daanbantayan & is republished here with minor grammatical corrections.The poster, LC, obviously has some connections with medical people who are aware of Malu's health situation.

"My friends are medicos in Cebu City & Manila. They told me that Madam Loot is very sick with cancer of the uterus. They said the cancer has spread into the bone in her back & now the bone in her leg. They said it does not look good for Madam & this illness may kill her as it is getting worse. I heard she has been complaining of headaches and eye troubles, it could be that the cancer has spread to her brain. I feel sorry for her that she may die of cancer, I heard it's a slow painful death. Maybe God is punishing her for all the bad things she has done. God bless you Inday Malou for you truly need his blessing now. Your salvation will be achieved soon when God takes you."

Daanbantayan Mayor Maria
Luisa Loot posted a bail of P30,000 after a warrant of arrest was issued by
the Sandiganbayan against her for an anti-graft case. Judge Victor
Teves sign the order of release of Loot last April 28, 2011.

It was the
Sandiganbayan 1st Division that issued the warrant of arrest against Loot
on May 25, 2011.

Division Chairman Associate Justice Efren dela Cruz and
members Rodolfo Ponferrada and Rafael Lagos found probable cause after
they evaluated the resolution made by an anti-graft prosecutor of the office of the Ombudsman.

After personally perusing the information
and evaluating the resolution of the prosecutor, its supporting evidence
and the records of the preliminary investigation attached thereto, it
appears that sufficient grounds exist for the finding of probable cause for
the purpose of issuing the warrant of arrest against Loot, the order of justices read.

Loot was charged after allegedly taking advantage of
her position in refusing to sign the Daily Time Record of Jeronimo Cosido,
a permanent employee of Daanbantayan, starting July 16, 2003 resulting to
the withholding of the salaries of Cosido.

The unpaid salaries and
allowances of Cosido from July 16 to October 8, 2003 amounted to
P17,806.35.

Mayor of Daanbantayan misses official council Christmas party - Saturday 18 December 2010

The Daanbantayan Council (Sanggunian Bayan) held it's annual
Christmas party on Friday 17 December 2010, but noticeably absent was
the Mayor, Ma Luisa Loot (Malu). People were sent to look for her in
Daanbantayan but she was nowhere to be seen. This is indeed unusual that
the Mayor did not attend the official year end Xmas party.

Despite
no official news on her health condition, readers will no doubt be
aware that Malu was taken seriously ill over a week ago and was
hospitalised (purportedly in North Cebu General Hospital) with severe
life threatening pneumonia. Recent information obtained from a close
relative of Malu, said that she is still in hospital and has moved into
the recovery stage of her illness, but that she is still very unwell
& severely physically weakened by the severe infection in her lungs.

Rumours were going all around Daanbantayan that she would be
attending the council meeting on Friday 17th Dec 2010, but clearly this
was a fabricated rumour released to convey a message that everything is
OK with her.

This is the second major engagement that Malu has
missed this week, she was also unable to attend the funeral last
Saturday of her "Keeper of Security", & her Uncle, Boy Tambok Pepito
Jr, who died suddenly from a heart attack.

The following two
messages related to Malu's illness, were doing the rounds of mobile
phones in Daanbantayan over the last few days, they have also been
posted on the Daanbantayan Gossip site.

The second txt message
seems to imply or allege that Malu was involved in murders and that her
current illness is a form of retribution, be it directly by the hand of
God or by the law of manifestation ie Karma, "what you sow, so shall
you reap". That may be an esoteric explanation as to why Malu was
suddenly struck down with a severe life threatening illness.

One
thing is for sure, Malu would have been at her Council's Xmas party to
brag and show off and be the center of attention, something she
desperately craves for as she lacked attention and caring from her own
parents. The only reason she did not attend, was because she was unable to attend , as she was still too sick to leave hospital.

Malu Loot health update - Thursday 16 December 2010

A source close to Maria Luisa (Malu) Loot, current Mayor of
Daanbantayan Cebu, has provided the following information regarding her
hospitalisation & health condition at late Thursday 16 December
2010. Malu Loot was admitted to hospital late last week with serious
life threatening fever & pneumonia with complications to the heart.
Doctors have worked hard all week to drain fluid from her lungs and kill
the rampant infection with antibiotics. Malu has slowly responded to
medication and treatment and has finally been allowed to sit up in bed.
She had to lie on her side for most of the week confined to her bed, as
the doctors needed to drain excess fluid from her heart and lungs. She
is still on an intravenous drip (IV) and is receiving continuous IV
antibiotics medication to kill the rampant infection. The infection was
apparently very virulent & Malu was in a very serious life
threatening situation for many days.

As soon as she was allowed to sit up, Malu started using her phone to
issue orders to her team. One of the first calls she made was to a man,
and she ordered him to "get" her most hated opponent & critic,
allegedly an order to have the critic murdered was again issued. Get
that bastard S......, I want him silenced, she was heard to scream, very
angrily. Malu is apparently very very concerned that critics will
derail her soon to be announced Casino Development plan for Malapascua
Island, that she will promote as a legitimate business providing income
for the local people and of great benefit to the local economy and
tourism in general in Cebu, thus the hurried desire to silence the most
vocal critic of them all.

While on the surface there may be an
element of benefit to the local economy & people, the Malapascua
Casino complex profits will come from deliberate gambling losses, using
money that has been carried and smuggled into the Philippines. Illegal
proceeds from organised crime in SE Asia & Japan will be heavily
lost at the gambling tables, thus becoming a legitimate business income
for the Casino. This income will generate legitimate profits which will
then go back to the crime syndicates via "supposedly legitimate
investors", who actually have links to the organised crime sources that
the money originated from. A classic case of money laundering, planned
to be done right under the noses of the people of Cebu & the
Philippines, under the alleged auspices of the Mayor of Daanbantayan
Maria Luisa Loot. Investigators working secretly in Daanbantayan
uncovered this complex plan that allegedly involves International drug
& crime gangs from Japan, and proceeds of crime from places as far
away as Monte Carlo Casino in France.

This illness that struck
Malu down, could not have come at a worse time for her, as the public
announcement for this massive Tourist Resort & Casino Complex on
Malapascua Island is now planned for the start of January 2011. Malu
will have a lot of work to do convincing the people that this scheme is
not fraudulent, as so much information has been revealed about it. She
is desperate for the project to go ahead as she has spent the last few
years planning it, and putting all the laws & planning legislation
into place, with the assistance of Congressman Benhur Salimbangon, who
in 2008 pushed for laws to allow land on Malapascua to be owned and sold
off by private owners. There has been a lot of behind the scenes
manipulation of "the system" to bring this clever but fraudulent plan
into being. Many people involved with investing in the project, believe
it to be a legitimate business investment project offering good returns.
The good returns to investors and local people will come at a cost
though, as it is BLOOD MONEY earned from the suffering & drug
addiction of millions of people elsewhere in SE Asia, who are pawns in
the drug & crime running empires of Japanese gangs.

It is not
yet known when Malu will be allowed to leave hospital, rumours are
circulating Daanbantayan that she will be attending the Council session
this Friday, but our source does not see that as being likely, given the
still fragile condition of her health. She is only just starting on
recovery, and it would be too soon for her to take up active duties as
the Mayor. It may be some time yet before her health fully returns and
setbacks in her strength and vitality are quite probable, given the
grave seriousness of her condition all this week.

The Loot camp
has been doing a good job of covering up the truth, virtually no
information about her health has been available, and very few people
were allowed to see her. Publicity campaigns and press releases in the
media have made it appear that Malu Loot is active and busy in her job.
There was a report of her being on televison, but that was obviously old
footage. She had also been busy releasing press releases complaining
about the policemen who were removed from Daanbanatayn police station in
late October, and the physical mess and stench that is now in the
police station. She also issued statements that she would be suing
Police Chief Digal for improperly removing her key police "goons" from
Daanbantayan. It would have been highly improbable for Malu to be
issuing those statements and press releases says our source, as she was
so weak and ill all this week. She was lucky to survive and avoid dying
as the pneumonia & infection was so severe. The Loots were trying to
project an image that "everything was OK in Daanbantayan politics &
leadership, but clearly everything was NOT OK !

A private source close to Maria Luisa Loot (Malu) leaked the following. Malu lies in a
hospital reportedly on the outskirts of Cebu City in a very serious
condition. She has a high grade fever and pneumonia. Doctors have had to
lay her on her side and have tubes inserted in her lungs to drain
excess fluid. There is also a problem with fluid on her heart & high
blood pressure. Her condition is considered very serious. There are two
security guards stationed at her room to prevent people from seeing
her. Despite a wall of secrecy going up about her condition &
location, an anonymous source close to Malu has provided details of her
condition. The prognosis is not good and doctors are struggling to
stabilise her condition and are concerned that she may worsen. There
were rumours that she had been flown to a Manila hospital for treatment
but the seriousness of her condition excluded an aeroplane flight which
pressurizes the cabin at 10,000 feet, too thin for people with breathing
difficulties.

Doctors are perplexed by her condition that seems to have no
rational explanation. It started out as a sudden onset fever that
rapidly turned into a serious live threatening pneumonia with other
complications ie to the heart. Some people in Daanbantayan are saying it
may be a curse put on her by relatives of people she has allegedly
recently had murdered, but claim Malu has a large diamond embedded under
the skin near her belly button, to supposedly ward off evil spirits.
Malu has been under a lot of pressure lately trying to bring her
fraudulent Malapascua Island Casino money laundering scheme to finality,
to be announced any week now, & the immense pressure this caused
her has severely weakened her immune system. The "official" word is that
she was taken to Manila, but this is just an attempt to cover up her
real condition.

Maria Luisa (Malu) Loot was rushed to hospital suffering a high grade fever on the
eve of the funeral of her Keeper of Security, Boy Tambok Pepito Jr. The
fever had been troubling her for four days, on and off, but had become
so serious & debilitating that she was unable to attend the funeral
of her Uncle & Chief of Security. Other reports indicate she had
very high blood pressure suggesting other complications with organs ie
the heart. Malu is undergoing treatment in hospital and Doctors are
reviewing her lab tests to establish the cause of this sudden onset
disease.

There has been a secrecy clampdown imposed on Malu's condition &
the location of her hospitalization, this may indicate her condition is
worse than expected. Associates close to Malu report that the shock and
trauma over the death of her Uncle Boy Tambok, have triggered an
emotional imbalance in her and this has allowed the infection to take
hold. Locals report that Malu was extremely sensitive and agitated about
her Uncles death all this week, and whenever she spoke to anyone she
lamblasted them severely over his death, even though they had nothing to
do with it. That seems rather puzzling behaviour. It's almost as if she
had some sort of guilt complex over his death and that in some way she
felt responsible for his death. There are indications that she may have
pneumonia, as that disease is known to be prevalent just at the moment
in Cebu City, in areas close to where Malu lives. There have been a few
cases reported to Watchdog of sudden onset fevers with pneumonia &
complications, although those cases have had a favourable outcome. Malu
may or may not be as fortunate as others who have recently suffered
similar disease conditions. We will keep readers updated as more news of
her condition becomes available.

An in depth report prepared by undercover investigators into key
personalities and events in Daanbantayan, called Daanbantayan - Secrets
and Revelations as at 9th May 2010, was handed to a small group of
people in town in the lead up to the recent Barangay elections on 23
October 2010. The report contained very revealing information about key
personalities in the town, and painted a very incriminating picture of
the alleged corrupt activities of certain people.

Malu Loot was
reportedly furious about the information contained in the report, and
was reportedly cranky with everyone she talked to, and she has remained
extremely agitated & vexed until the present day (early December).
Her anger over the revelations made has not dissipated, and her
associates in the Munisipyo describe Malu as being ten times angrier
than she had ever been before.

Leaks from inside the Loot camp, indicate that Malu is extremely
perplexed about how investigators were able to uncover the information
revealed in the report. Zendu received a terrible lamblasting from Malu
for revealing secrets about her alleged Casino fraud scheme on
Malapascua Island, insiders reveal this was her highly secret "ace card"
which only a handful of people knew about in her organisation, and this
was the project that was going to make her the richest person in the
Philippines, at least in her opinion. There were also shocking
revelations about the marriage of Malu & Vic Loot, as Vic was
alleged to have committed Bigamy by marrying another woman in SE Asia
& has a 6 yr old son to this woman. Reports are that Malu & Vic
were arguing ferociously about this, and that Vic strongly denied the
allegation. Apparently Malu does not believe Vic, & she has
concluded that Vic is lying & does in fact have another wife. On the
same weekend the document was released, Vic left Daanbantayan rapidly,
reportedly for fear of his life, despite Malu having requested his
presence to help manipulate & control the election outcome in her
teams favour.

There was information about Vic & Malu's cronies
in senior government whom they bribed for favours, there was
information about Gogong Arrogante's murder, there was info about Malu
bugging opposition members phones, and even about Malu using black magic
to wear down her enemies, rumours have often circulated town about
this, but the document appears to confirm that Malu does practice black
magic. There was also information about Vic Loot's protection racket,
where he paid off a wide circle of people in Cebu City to keep problems
away from him or Malu, anything they wanted done or fixed was carried
out by these cronies they had on their payroll.

Individual stories on the revelations made will be posted on this site as the information becomes available.

Watchdog has tracked down a copy of the document and publishes it here for your reading pleasure.

It
indeed paints an allegedly sordid tale of anger, deceit, corruption,
standover tactics & murder over a many year period from the
Municipal authorities in Daanbantayan.

Malu Loot is allegedly poised to launch the biggest fraud ever
committed in her life. A privately funded Resort Casino on Malapascua
Island is touted as a legitimate development project, but is allegedly
really a front for high level International Asian crime & drug
gangs. The project is designed to launder drug & crime money from
gangs in Japan (going via Hong Kong), who have connections to money
laundering schemes in Monte Carlo Casino in France & elsewhere. Malu
plans to say that profits from the operation of the Casino Resort will
benefit local people, but this is allegedly tainted BLOOD MONEY,
acquired at the expense of the lives & suffering of other people in
SE Asia. Do the Cebuanos really want BLOOD MONEY on their hands ?

Zenas Dublin (Malu’s project co-ordinator) allegedly leaked
information about this corrupt plan, as he knows it will allow
International crime to establish legitimate business in Cebu, &
detrimentally affect the lives of millions of people in the coming
years. His conscience got the better of him & he revealed secret
details of the scheme despite knowing that Malu will be very angry with
him. He said he has to face up to his worst demons, and that revealing
information about this scheme, was the way he felt he could cleanse his
soul for all the evil things he has allegedly done for Malu over the
years. He also told investigators that he turned to being a heavy
drinker to dull the ongoing mental pain & anguish of the alleged
life of deceit & cheating he had adopted since becoming Malu's right
hand man.

Investigators have held subsequent private interviews
with Zenas Dublin, where explicit details were allegedly provided about
the scheme & the bona fides of earlier information he provided.
Zenas said that Malu's scheme allegedly is an elaborate fraud to entice
International investment into a supposedly legitimate business, which in
fact will be a front for a slick money laundering scheme run by SE
Asian (Japanese based) crime & drug gangs, turning illegal crime
money into legitimate profit from a Resort & Casino complex.

An informer inside Daanbantayan Council has
confidentially revealed that the Mayor, Maria Luisa Loot, plans to
announce soon (most likely this December), a huge “Club Med style”
Tourist Resort & Casino Development project on Malapascua Island,
near Daanbantayan. The informant said this announcement is intended to
garner favourable support for the plan by showing it will bring income
& wealth to the local economy of Daanbantayan & Cebu, &
Mayor Loot intends to promise improved infrastructure projects for the
town eg schools, hospitals, employment, welfare etc, as a flow on effect
from this injection of profits into the local economy. Her intention is
to make the project very appealing to the people as it will benefit
them greatly, but will also make her look good politically. Based on the
cash flows indicated, there will be big profits from this Casino Resort
complex, and millions of pesos will flow into the local economy. On the
surface this scheme appears very good & something that any
progressively minded person would embrace.

The informant alleges that Mayor Loot has attracted
a consortium of 12 overseas & local financial backers, and cites
the recent "private business trip" to China by Loot & senior members
of Daanbantayan Council including the Accountant, to promote the scheme
& gain financial investors. The informer also says that these
investors will bring political pressure on the Philippines government to
give the go ahead to this project, a move designed to stifle any
legitimate objections from locals.

Unfortunately this project appears to be a case of "too good to be true".

The
following information has been obtained by private undercover
investigators working for the people of Daanbantayan for the last 2
years, and their sources are known to provide credible information. The
information involves serious allegations of fraud and misrepresentation
by the Municipal Council of Daanbantayan Cebu, and alleges involvement
with International criminals. This information has been discreetly
supplied to Provincial Authorities in Cebu & to the Governors office
for further investigation. It is believed that Justice authorities in
Manila are looking into the alleged involvement of local personalities
in International crime.

The information is
published here to pre-empt the proposed official announcement &
inform the general public so that they have another point of view to
consider, when determining the bona fides, benefits & legitimacy of
the project. This information will also allow the people of Cebu to
decide if they wish to be involved in a project that allegedly derives
its profits from the proceeds of criminal activity, suffering &
addiction of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people throughout
SE Asia. This connection to organised crime is allegedly covered up by
the proponents of the scheme.

This
& other delays, have put the Provincial project way way behind
schedule, allegedly allowing time for the Loot proposed scheme to be
planned & implemented. It is a simple question to ask, why has Mayor
Loot delayed the project for nearly 4 years now, the Memorandum of
Agreement was signed in 2006, so the official Provincial Resort could
have been completed by now, and have already been earning income for the
local economy.

Citizens of Daanbantayan,
Provincial officials & Gov Gwen Garcia, have been puzzled why Loot
has apparently deliberately blocked works and driven contractors away,
citing lack of funds, but since the plan was backed by the Province,
then that excuse is invalid. What is her reason then ? With this
pre-emptive release of information about the alternative Casino based
plan, it is now apparent why, Mayor Loot wants her own plan to prevail,
allegedly for her own "behind the scenes" financial profiteering.

Further
leaks from a senior official who has seen documentation about this
scheme, indicate that the "legitimate" business side of the project, is a
cover for a behind the scenes illegal International money laundering
project backed by SE Asian crime & drug gangs based in Japan.

The
senior official, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals,
has alleged that the Mayor, in her capacity as the final approving
authority, will quickly approve the development plans submitted to
Council, without proper public scrutiny.

The
official further alleged that other underhanded actions will take place
to make the deal even more favourable to the developers, resulting in a
Resort & Casino complex much larger than the original plan
indicated. The official alleged that after the publicly released
approval, the original approved plan will be quietly & secretly
changed to include a large parcel of public land. It was said that this
will be achieved by simply altering a boundary line on the drawing plans
& replacing earlier copies of the plans. This parcel of public land
will allegedly be sold to the developers "on paper" for a cheap price
& it is further alleged that Malu Loot will profit greatly from
kickbacks of money as a result of this "bogus transaction".

The
senior official has indicated that the reason "they" leaked this
information publicly was to prevent this allegedly corrupt scheme from
proceeding, as in the long term it would be a bad thing for the Filipino
people and detrimentally affect the lives of millions of people in the
coming decades. "They" said it would allow organised International crime
to get a strong hold in the Philippines, and they ultimately could not
have these long term bad effects for their own people on their
conscience.

The official said that for a
long time "they" have been unhappy with the way matters are handled in
the Council, citing allegedly unjust application of laws &
regulations & allegedly dictatorial like control & overbearing
dominance of the constituents, & said there is still some decency
left in "them", despite having turned their eye to alleged wrongdoings
for many years. The official said: "It's about time some decency came to
this area".

Insider
information has revealed that an alternative Resort Casino scheme on
Malapascua Island near Daanbantayan, planned to be announced this
December by Mayor Malu Loot, will be promoted as a legitimate enterprise
& a boost for the local economy as well as being of great benefit
to the local people. Insiders close to the Loot family, advise that the
plan is actually a front for an illegal Asian crime gang money
laundering scheme, to convert the proceeds of organised crime & drug
gangs in Japan & SE Asia into legitimate business income &
profits.Insider informants have revealed the following information
about the activities leading up to the impending announcement, and the
real reason for the creation of the scheme.

This
Resort & Casino development plan is a different & alternative
plan to the official Provincial backed Resort plan for Malapascua
Island. Malu & her illegal connections to Japanese crime gangs, have
created this complex alternative plan, & Malu Loot actively delayed
works for the official plan, such that it is way way behind schedule,
with not a sod of earth turned. It is now easy to see why Malu delayed
the official plan.

There
is a legitimate company associated with the alternative development
project. Malu is touting this project as an investment opportunity that
is clean and above board. Even Benhur Salimbangon is involved as an
investor as he thinks this is a legitimate investment opportunity, thus
the Salimbangon family will be strongly pushing for this development to
go ahead. Malu has been scheming for years with Benhur to build
infrastructure ie airports & hotel to service the tourism boom they
want to happen in Daanbantayan. Malu & Vic Loot have been acquiring
numerous parcels of land in Malapascua, Bateria, Poblacion &
elsewhere, to profiteer when the boom arrives. Some of these land
acquisitions are underhanded & have been obtained by false dealings
& improper changes of land ownership. Vic has told Malu to get rid
of property that is evidence of their wrong doings, but Malu insists it
will be OK & wants to retain ownership.

Behind
the legitimate company are 2 other men, one of whom Malu has been
dealing with behind the scenes. He is Japanese & has a grey
moustache. He is the one pushing hard for the Casino Resort to go ahead.
Malu met with him in Cebu & also at a Western Cowboy USA themed Bar
Restaurant to the north of Manila. Other people were at that meeting
whom she was trying to get involved in the scheme. They discussed the
modus operandi needed to bring the underhanded scheme to fruition. The
Japanese “businessman” has direct connections to Yakuza in Japan,
although he is a peripheral person & not an actual Yakuza himself.
He believes he is not a bad person, it’s just that he deals with people
who are. He sees himself as a respectable businessman & has another
partner, a man. This first man has been in Hong Kong for a while, but he
is a traveller & will return to Japan soon.

The
men behind the scheme are eager for the project to get underway as it
has been significantly delayed. Money has already been paid to Malu to
fund startup costs for the development project, but Malu used that money
for other purposes eg funding the election & legal challenges to
the Graft case against her & her husband Vic Loot, fighting the 2007
election protest by Corro in the courts, & other costs of running
& maintaining her corrupt empire etc. Winning the May election was a
very expensive exercise for Malu & to be sure of a win she paid
dearly via bribery of electoral officials.

The
money given to Malu came from this first man in Hong Kong, although it
originally came out of Japan. The money trail had to be covered up to
avoid creating suspicion with authorities in Philippines. The money went
as Yen from Japan to Hong Kong & then as Dollars from HK to
Philippines. Malu is in big debt to the Japanese, who think she may have
doublecrossed them, so she may be murdered if the project does not go
through.

The
Japanese man was on the phone earlier this year berating Malu, saying
that the drilling of the coral should have started already & they
were way behind schedule (referring to the drilling of foundation
pillars into the coral seabed, to build a semi submerged building
hanging over the water with a view of the sea life below). Malu is in
trouble over the slow progress as promises were made to the Japanese
& broken. She is scared that the project will not succeed due to
ongoing problems with her tenancy as Mayor. She is aware of
investigations by senior officials into her callously fraudulent win in
the 2010 election, & is hurrying to get this plan implemented while
she is still in power. There are millions of pesos financial gain in
this for Malu & Vic, as profit from improper land title changes
& sales, percentage take of the project budget, income from business
profits & income from the Asian crime & drug gangs money
laundering scheme.

The
money laundering scheme is the fundamental reason for this whole
development being in existence. This is big time crime involving serious
International criminals from SE Asia with connections around the world
to other money laundering schemes in Monte Carlo Casino in France.
Authorities need to start investigating this plan before it develops any
further. The proceeds of Japanese based big time Asian crime & drug
rings is to be smuggled into the Philippines, via fishing vessels &
a trading port created & controlled by Malu, potentially in
Bateria, Daanbantayan. Gogong Arrogante, discovered & threatened to
expose Malu’s underhanded plans for development in Bateria &
Malapascua, & for this Malu had him murdered. Gogong himself was
planning to build a fishing port, wharf & trade complex with a large
market place & shops in Bateria, & other shops in Poblacion
Daanbantayan beside the creek, which conflicted with Malu & Vic’s
long term plans.

Malu
bribed people to provide information about Gogongs plans, & this
knowledge became the catalyst for his murder. Malu’s delay causing
tactics to the official Provincial backed Resort project is now
understandable, as she wanted her alternative plan to be implemented
instead, as only one huge Club Meditteranean style mega Resort &
Casino was viable on the island. Malu fears that strong opposition from
opponents, will derail her plans & loose her hundreds of millions of
pesos from profiteering. Malu wants one critic silenced & issued
multiple murder contracts to hitmen & to her senior policeman
husband Vic Loot to murder the critic. She is very fearful of the
knowledge & influence the critic has about her plans &
activities in the town. She said “I can control anyone in this town
except him”. Malu is so desperate, she has even resorted to using black
magic spells to stop her opponents from interfering in the biggest money
making fraud she has ever done in her whole life.

Malu Loot held her birthday party on Tuesday 15 September 2009, but it was
a much less extravagant affair than in previous years. Only selected
"staunch supporters" were invited to the gathering, which resembled a
political party assembly, held at her opulent home in Mango Green,
Mandaue, Cebu City. She was also seen at Simala making offerings to the
church to help atone for her sinful deeds.

Townspeople speak of
big birthday bashes in previous years, where nearly everyone was invited
or ordered to attend either her home in Daanbantayan or in Mango Green,
but this year the big raft of celebrations was noticeably absent.
People say that Malu is usually so braggard about her birthday, but this
year the situation is very different and virtually a "non event" in
comparison.

Many Daanbantayan townspeople who had attended big
birthday bashes in previous years were not invited to this years
gathering, and this has caused a serious rift amongst some of those who
support the Loot family. By limiting the invitations to certain persons
only eg Barangay leaders, Malu has ostracised many of her secondary
supporters, so much so that some of them have been humiliated by their
leaders shunning of them, and rumours are circulating that they plan to
stop supporting the Loots in the coming election. In short, Malu has
"hurt their pride".

For whatever reasons Malu limited the invitations, she has created
some serious "bad vibes" towards herself. Was she just "saving costs" in
the light of all the expensive legal matters now facing her family, was
she trying to limit attendees to only her most trusted supporters to
stop information leaks ? Townspeople say both.

One thing is for
sure, Malu and her family members are "on edge" about the current
affairs going on in Daanbantayan regarding numerous graft, abuse of
power, falsification, dishonesty & other administrative complaints
against her and Sun Shimura, as well as the dropping of support by
Governor Gwen Garcia for her & the Daanbantayan council
administration.

Malu has reportedly been seen at Simala, making
offerings to the church, rather than living it up big with lavish
birthday bashes. Locals says this is a sure sign of insecurity, and say
that Malu has finally admitted her sins to herself and is trying to seek
atonement for those sins by making offerings to the church. Locals say
there is no other reason for Malu to go to Simala and make an offering,
other than to try and "pay off God" for the sins she committed.

Townspeople
also mention the most recent damning findings against the Daanbantayan
administration by the Commission on Audit (COA), which found serious
irregularities in many areas, one of which involved P180 million of
equipment not able to be adequately accounted for, amongst other issues.
Where has all that money gone ? It is expected that COA will lay
charges against the administration. Townspeople allege that Malu has
bribed COA investigators in previous years, as there has never been any
untoward findings in previous COA investigations. Serious irregularities
have only been seen in the last two COA reports, and Malu was in a very
cranky and irritated mood immediately after the last report was
released. She knew this was serious "bad damage" to her and the
Daanbantayan administration. It would appear that Malu is no longer able
to allegedly "buy people off" and get away with alleged serious misuse
of government project funds.

Unfortunately it is not likely to
be a good year ahead for Malu either. Her popularity in Daanbantayan is
at an all time low, as news of all the charges against her, and her son
Sun Shimura and her husband Vic Loot, have circulated town like
wildfire. Everyone knows about all the serious charges against them, and
the townspeople now publicly display their utter hatred towards the
Loots. Only recently townspeople confronted the infamous Toyota Hilux
GLZ333 owned by Malu, as the goons inside were driving around town
annoying and spying on locals. Townspeople came out in force and gave
the driver and the goons inside the "F you" sign. Needless to say, the
vehicle sped off as those inside knew they had incurred the anger of the
townspeople and were too scared to stay around in case their own
security or safety was compromised. So now the goons are scared of the
locals !

Malus horoscope for the year does not look good either. Here is what one official online site says.

IF SEPTEMBER 15 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may chafe under restrictions andlimitations during the next several months. This may be because you areworking extra hours or because you aren't quite at your best in some way.Because you are more ambitious than usual, or stressed, others might findyou less loving -- and a key relationship could feel some strain. Lookforward to the end of the year when your charm can work its magic and put aromantic relationship back on steady ground or when a new job opportunitymight lighten your load. Next July is the very best time to begin any newand ultra-important new project or undertaking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You aren't at your best for a few hours today, sosidestep public appearances. Impulsive actions or words can throw a wrenchin plans.

In summary, the year ahead does not look particularly good for her.There are so many restrictions and limitations upon her in the next few months eglegal cases.She could have a new less demanding job next year, perhaps after losing the election.

One townsperson said: "Malu has so many problems facing her right now, this would have to be the worstbithday she has ever had".

Loot pretends dispute with Garcia is over - Wednesday 2 September 2009

A press release has been published in the Freeman newspaper on 2
September 2009, where Malu Loot suggests the dispute between her and
Governor Garcia is over.

This
is another blatant attempt by Malu Loot to try and cover up the serious
political rift that has developed between Malu and Governor Garcia.
This press release is outright manipulation of the news media, and is
written to present a false version of reality to the general public.
The need to do this indicates that Malu Loot is desperate to regain her
shattered public image, a result of the now very public loss of support
from Governor Gwen Garcia over numerous charges laid against Shimura
& Loot.

Malu very conveniently only refers to charges laid
with the Provincial Board in May 2009, and does not mention what could
be considered even more serious charges against herself and her son
Mayor Shimura, stemming from the "arrest of the plumber incident" at
Bateria on 18 July 2009.

With direct assistance from Governor
Garcia, who authorised the resources of the Provincial Attorneys Office
be made available to Bateria Barangay Captain Luciano, Malu Loot has
been charged with Gross Misconduct, Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of
Authority and Oppression.

Furthermore with direct assistance from Governor Garcia, four
Daanbantayan policemen, including Chief of Police Almirante, have been
charged with Gross Misconduct, Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority,
Persecution/Oppression and Grave threats. This relates to the arrest of
the plumber, and the Chief of Cebu Provincial Police, Col Gacquing,
himself investigated and found that the police were ordered to arrest
the plumber by Malu Loot, without proper process.

Following
further investigations, the Governor gave more direct assistance so
that charges could be laid against Mayor Sun Shimura for Abuse of
Authority, Oppression, Conspiracy to Commit Falsification of Public
Documents and Dishonesty. These charges relate to the allegedly forced
takeover by underhanded means of the Bateria waterworks system, where
actions of Shimura have been deemed to be illegal.

The latest
charges against Loot & Shimura were lodged with the Provincial
Board on 10 & 17 August 2009, definitely an indication of the
Governor's current attitude towards the Loot's.

Despite the above
charges having been laid, Malu Loot is trying to pretend there is no
dispute with the Governor, but in fact the Governor is intent on making
the Loots face up to the laws of the land for their alleged illegal
& criminal activities.

Come on Malu, time to wake up and face reality, and stop your "infantile antics".

Townspeople identify Zendu as Zenas Dublin - Tuesday 1 September 2009

The Kinoykuyan newsletter distributed in Daanbantayan recently,
carried gossip type stories that identified a number of characters in
the town by nicknames for purposes of legal anonimity. The newsletter,
affectionately called KNN, has been very popular with local people, and
locals have correlated all the nicknamed characters with real persons.

One
person in particular has been targetted by locals, who are now calling
out to him in the street, much to his dislike. His nickname is Zendu,
and in the newsletter he was involved with tong (bribe) collection in
regard to illegal fishing in the town and barangays.

Lately as
one of the town councillors Zenas Dublin walks the streets of Barangay
Tapilon, he is called out at from afar, "Zendu, Zendu, hey Zendu".
Others call out "Palukso 1, Palukso 2", a reference in KNN to the
fisherman who have to pay bribes to Zendu in order to keep fishing.

Previously
townspeople would call out "Councillor" as a sign of respect to Zenas
Dublin, but now they call out "Zendu", a sign of their disrespect at
his alleged involvement in illegal fishing bribe collection.

In
a move designed to gain public support in response to her
administration's falling popularity due to recent Graft and corruption
charges, Malu Loot has come up with another scheme called the "Inday
Malu Health Card". The card supposedly promises the recipient
significant health care benefits amounting to approximately P1,000 for
medicine plus free accomodation in hospital or clinics. The card is
supposedly valid in both public and private clinics. Malu plans to
announce this initiative starting September 2009. Reportedly there will
be 20,000 cards issued to townspeople.

Observers believe this is
another scam, allegedly designed to trick the townspeople into
believing that Malu is a very generous leader in giving such
significant medical help to poorer individuals. The real truth they
say, is that by law, only 1,000 cards are allowed to be issued, and
therefore the other 19,000 cards are bogus and worthless.

Malu
is targetting distribution of these cards in political problem areas,
where the opposition candidates have a strong hold, in an attempt to
sway voters opinions towards Malu's team in the 2010 election.

Locals recall a similar health card scheme called the Benhur Health
Card, that was previously issued in the town. The Benhur card was a
"bad experience" for many of the people who received it, as many
cardholders were refused service or benefits when the time came for
them to use it for their medical needs. Only a limited number of cards
were legally allowed to be issued and were valid, but many more than
that number were distributed. Therefore only a limited number of card
recipients were able to receive benefits. Due to the high cost of
medical care in Daanbantayan and the poverty of the people, many
recipients treated the card as a real treasure, and the card made
Benhur very popular around town at that time. It was only later when
people started using them and were refused treatment, that the
deception became evident. It was a scam designed to impress people and
get their vote, but it was extremely underfunded and much of the
promised benefit was never provided due to limited funding.

Locals
claim the "Inday Malu Health Card" is another such scam, and there will
be many disappointed recipients when the time comes for them to make a
medical claim and they are refused benefits. The latest card supposedly
has even greater benefits than the earlier card, so matters will only
get worse when it comes "time to make a claim".

In reality 1,000
recipients will get the benefit they are entitled to, as there is legal
funding for that many cards, but the other 19,000 recipients will be
refused benefits as there is simply no legal funding for cards for that
many people. It will really be a "first come first served" scenario
where ONLY the first 1,000 users will get served (ie get a benefit).
All cards are technically valid, so anyone can receive the benefit if
they have a card, but after the first 1,000 people have presented their
cards, no one else will get any benefits.

Political opposition
members say this is another scam designed to defraud the people of
supposed entitlements, and is simply an attempt to buy votes by
deception. They also claim it is an attempt to counteract the negative
publicity and damage caused by numerous graft and corruption charges
against town leaders and Loot family members.

A serious political rift has developed between Daanbantayan Vice
Mayor Malu Loot and Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia, stemming from the April
Graft charges against the Loots and complaints sanctioned by the
Governor against Shimura & Loot over Provincial aid programs.

In
an attempt to resolve this dispute, Malu Loot has sought help from both
ex Governor Pabling Garcia and current Vice Governor Greg Sanchez. Malu
has asked them both to intervene and influence Governor Garcia to
re-establish cordial relations, but these attempts have resulted in no
favourable outcome.

In an initial attempt to regain favour with the
Governor, Malu Loot approached Gwen's father, ex Governor Pabling
Garcia, and asked for assistance to influence his daughter to drop her
"anti Malu" stance. Pabling's reply was short and sweet, and basically
said that he does not interfere with the way his daughter runs her role
as Governor. He said his daughter makes the decisions that she chooses
to make as Governor.

Following the refusal to help from Pabling Garcia, Malu Loot has recently turned her attention to Vice Governor Greg Sanchez.

In
a further attempt designed to gain favour with Governor Garcia, Malu is
trying to build ties with Sanchez. Vice Governor Sanchez has initially
accomodated Loot's approach to him, but observers report that Sanchez's
alliance is with Governor Garcia and they doubt very much that Sanchez
will do anything to help Malu, as that will affect the strong ties that
already exist between Sanchez and Garcia.

Malu has pointed out to Vice Gov Sanchez, as well as stating
publicly in Daanbantayan, that she provided support to Governor Garcia
during the 2004 election, which assured Garcia of a victory. Malu is
now saying that the Governor is a "persona non grata", as Garcia has
"turned her back" on Malu and forgotten the support that Malu
previously provided. Observers report this is a common tactic used by
Malu to gain sympathy, particularly from the general public.

Recently
Malu Loot has been openly admitting that "things are not good" between
her and the Governor. For the last few months though, Malu has
constantly claimed that there was no problem beween her and the
Governor, and repeatedly denied there was a political rift.

Even
as recently as the last week of August, Malu was bragging that Governor
Garcia would attend the Daanbantayan Fiesta Coronation Night on 29
August, in an attempt to imply that she was still in "good favour" with
the Governor. In fact Garcia shunned the event and did not attend,
indicating to the people her negative stance towards Loot. Many local
people also boycotted the event in disgust, following revelations of
allegedly corrupt activities by the town administration, made in
newsletters that have circulated Daanbantayan like wildfire.

To
further "hurt Malu's pride", Governor Garcia attended the Haladaya
Festival activities held on Sunday 30 August 2009, which the Governor
herself promotes, and during speeches etc, only mentioned Haladaya and
nothing else.

The loss of support from Governor Garcia, follows
the celebrated Graft case against Malu Loot & her husband Cebu
Police Supt Vicente Loot, brought by the NBI in April 2009. Since then
the Governor has "turned her back" on providing political support to
the mother & son team of Mayor Shimura & Vice Mayor Loot, and
reprimanded them both for their alleged wrongdoings towards the people
of Daanbantayan. The Governor has instigated official complaints
against Shimura & Loot over non implementation of Provincial aid
programs, and also assisted local people to lodge official complaints
against Shimura, Loot and Daanbantayan policemen regarding the alleged
takeover & mismanagement of local watersystems. See seperate
stories about these charges.

In a move designed to expose Gov Gwen Garcia directly to the Loot
family, an associate of the Governor, Mariquitta Salimbangong-Yeung,
allegedly tricked the Governor into visiting the Loot's PayPay resort
following the Haladaya Festivities in Daanbantayan on Sunday 30 August
2009.

This was designed to bring Governor Garcia, Malu &
Vicente Loot and their son Sun Shimura, together at the same time, in
an attempt to resolve the serious political rift that has developed
between Gov Garcia & the Loots.

The situation arose after
the Governor unwittingly agreed to travel from Cebu City with
Mariquitta, who is the wealthy sister of Congressman Benhur
Salimbangon, a Loot ally. The Governor agreed on the pretext that both
woman were attending Haladaya and would be company for each other
during the long return road trip. It is believed that the Governor had
no intention of spending time with the Loot family, and in fact avoided
attending the Daanbantayan Fiesta Coronation night on Saturday 29
September, the very day before Haladaya, as she did not wish to be seen
publicly or privately with Malu Loot.

Following the culmination of the Haladaya Festivities, which is an
initiative of the Governor herself to promote tourism in the northern
Cebu region, Mariquitta apparently wanted to visit some friends &
have a rest before leaving town and returning to Cebu City. It was
difficult for the Governor to object as both woman were travelling in
the same vehicle provided by the Governor, and it would have been seen
as bad etiquette for the Governor not to oblige her travelling
companion. Much to the surprise of the Governor, the friends that
Mariquitta visited were the Loot family at their PayPay resort complex.

Mariquitta
& Garcia ended up spending 3 hours at PayPay, and all parties did
retire to private rooms for apparently "informal discussions".
Obviously the major issue was the political climate involving the
disagreement primarily between Malu Loot & Gwen Garcia. No doubt
Sun Shimura, Vicente & Mariquitta all had something to say about
the fall out resulting from the Governors sanctioned actions against
Malu Loot & Sun Shimura, and the lasting effects of Administrative
decisions by the Provincial Board. The upcoming 2010 election was also
an issue for discussion, particularly in light of the effects of
ongoing bad publicity against the Loots & Shimura over all the
various charges that have been brought against them since the serious
Graft charges announced by the NBI in April 2009.

The following
day Monday 31 August, Malu Loot was very quick to announce that
Governor Garcia had came to her PayPay resort and implied that the
dispute was resolved. A press release in the Freeman newspaper also
reported that Malu & Garcia were on friendly terms at the Haladaya
event, and that they had "kissed and made up", a reference to the
resolving of their differences regarding the Governors actions against
Malu & Sun. That article is deliberately misleading and an "abuse
of the press media". It is a very one sided statement, allegedly
instigated by Malu, with only Malu Loot herself claiming everything was
OK, without a single comment from the Governor.

Malu has been
heard to say she is desperate to regain the support of Garcia, as Malu
knows that without the Governors support, both the political careers of
herself and her son Sun Shimura, are over.

The actions of
Mariquitta Salimbangong-Yeung are believed to have been instigated by
Malu Loot as a "last ditch" attempt to regain the Governors support.
Malu had already approached ex Governor Pabling Garcia, but he refused
to interfere with the decisions of his daughter, now Governor, Gwen
Garcia. Malu had also aproached the current Vice Governor Greg Sanchez,
who initially entertained Malu's approach, more so in a manner of being
openly friendly and approachable, but insiders say the Vice Governor
also refused to help Malu as soon as he turned her back on her. So Malu
had no choice but to allegedly use underhanded trickery to try and
"wiggle her way" to a meeting with Garcia and attempt a reconciliation.

The
news coming out of Daanbantayan & Cebu City suggest the Governor
has not changed her mind, with regards to the stance she has taken
against Malu Loot & Sun Shimura. The Governor has previously stated
she has had enough of the Loot family's "anti people" stance, and is
very annoyed with Malu's strategy of spending time, money and effort
constantly attacking & bringing down her political opponents,
rather than getting on with the proper administration of the Municipal
Council for the benefit of the people of Daanbantayan.

Evidence
of this is provided by a report from the Governors office about a
follow up meeting between Sun Shimura and Gov Garcia regarding the
Barangay Bateria waterworks issue (reported elswhere on this site). In
early August 2009, Gwen Garcia told Sun Shimura to tell his mother
(Malu) to stop her anti people stance and to also tell his mother Malu
to have the case against the arrested plumber Mr Tampas withdrawn.

Since
the Garcia sanctioned administrative charges against Shimura & Loot
in May 2009, the Governor has shunned both Malu Loot and Sun Shimura at
a number of public engagements. These charges relate to non
implementation of Provincial programs. Since then the Governor has also
assisted a Daanbantayan Barangay Captain to lay further serious charges
against Malu Loot, Sun Shimura & Daanbantayan policemen, over the
alleged forced takeover of the local waterworks by improper use of
authority and falsification of documents, and related issues.

Malu
Loot now knows that since not getting any support from Pabling Garcia
and Greg Sanchez, "the writing is on the wall", and that her chances of
remaining in power in Daanbantayan are now very slim.

The culminating event in the 10 day Daanbantayan Fiesta program, the
Coronation night, was held on Saturday 29 August, but the 2009 event
was poorly attended by dignitaries and only 200 specatators. Local
people say official events were boycotted, a reaction to the "bad
vibes" surrounding the Daanbantayan Municipal Council over serious
charges against the Shimura & Loot administration regarding alleged
corrupt activities.

All week long Vice Mayor Malu Loot had been
publicly bragging that Governor Gwen Garcia would be in attendance. As
it turned out, the Governor shunned the event by not attending, the
only notable dignitaries present were Congressman Benhur Salimbangon
and Provincial Board member Mondigo, both allies of Loot.

Malu
herself has publicly admitted that there is a serious and unresolvable
rift between her and Gov Garcia that cannot be repaired.

Locals claim Malu has said that Gwen Garcia is now a "persona non
grata", as the Governor has turned her back on Malu despite the support
given by Loot to Garcia in the 2004 election. Malu claims without her
backing, Garcia would not have become Governor and has "forgotten the
help" she received from Loot.

Townspeople claim the Loot family
is "really bothered" by the collapse of the political relationship with
Gwen Garcia, as they know this support is needed in order for them to
hold onto the positions of Mayor & Vice Mayor and remain "in power"
in Daanbantayan.

Complaint made against Bgy Cap Luciano - Tuesday 18 August 2009

Captain Arsenio Luciano of Barangay Bateria, Daanbantayan is again
on the "receiving end" of an administrative complaint against him
regarding activities associated with the Bateria waterworks. The
Municipal Council informed Luciano of the complaint in a recent letter,
which stated he had disconnected the water of residents without
authority. The complaint also states that the operation, supervision,
and administration of the waterworks, was by law properly turned over
to the Municipal Government of the Municipality of Daanbantayan.

Luciano
alleges this administrative complaint is just another "payback" for his
actions of opposing the Shimura & Loot administration and asserting
ownership and control of the waterworks as Barangay Captain. This
followed his discovery of an allegedly fake resolution by the former
Barangay Captain Jorge Malinao which handed over the waterworks to
Mayor Shimura, Vice Mayor Loot and the Daanbantayan Municipality.
Further resolutions/Executive Orders made by Mayor Sun Shimura have now
also been found to be illegal as due process was not carried out.

The real issue here, is a long running dispute between local
Barangays/owners of the water systems and Vice Mayor Malu Loot, who
pushed for the takeover of all local waterworks systems. In many cases
locals refused to either hand over or be taken over, which is their
legal right. Despite this refusal Mayor Shimura, Vice Mayor Malu Loot
and the Municipal Council allegedly under the instigation of Malu Loot
forced the takeover of a number of local water systems by alleged
underhanded means, which involved conspiracy to create fabricated
documents and illegal Executive Orders and the deliberate dishonest
covering up of these transactions from public scrutiny.

Luciano
sees the complaint against him as a means of putting him under
hardship, as he expects the Municipal Council will again suspend him
without pay. Luciano states though that the Council claims of ownership
of the Bateria waterworks are fictitious, as Provincial Atty
Martinquella has advised Luciano he still has legal authority to
control the waterworks in his role as Bgy Captain, as no offical or
legal handover ever took place. This is despite assertions and claims
to the contrary from Mayor Shimura, Vice Mayor Loot and the Municipal
Council.

Luciano previously lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman
over the fake resolution by Jorge Malinao, which matter is still
pending.

Luciano has this week lodged a complaint with the
Provincial Board against Mayor Sun Shimura regarding illegal Executive
Orders relating to this matter, wherein Shimura has been charged with
Abuse of Authority, Oppression, Conspiracy to Commit Falsification of
Public Documents and Dishonesty.

Luciano approached Governor
Gwen Garcia, who after listening to Luciano's story, was very
disappointed with the actions of the Daanbantayan Council leaders. The
Governor arranged for the full resources of the Provincial Government
including legal assistance, to be used to assist Captain Luciano to
resolve the dispute with the Municipal Council over the Bateria
waterworks.

In a letter of response to the Daanbantayan Municipal
Council, Luciano warned the Council of his pre-emptive complaint againt
Shimura that had already been lodged with the Provincial Board
(Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Cebu), and that he had the full support of
Governor Gwen Garcia and the Provincial Attorneys office. He also
advised of complaints he had lodged against Malu Loot herself with the
Provincial Board and also against local Daanbantayan police with the
Ombudsman over an alleged improper arrest relating to the waterworks
ownership & control issue.

Indications are that there is a
looming battle developing between Governor Gwen Garcia and her
adminstration "in one corner", and Malu Loot and her administration "in
the other corner".

The official online website of the Cebu Provincial Government,
"bag-on panlantaw Sugbo" has published the story of the meeting between
Governor Gwen Garcia and Daanbantayan Barangay Captain Arsenio Luciano.

The
publication of this story, which refers to the complaints lodged by Cap
Luciano against the forced take over of the Bateria waterworks and
other matters, gives credibility to claims made by Cap Luciano. This is
despite denials by the Loot & Shimura administration, and the
blantant way in which Mayor Sun Shimura called Luciano a liar in a
recent press article.

Quoting from the site:

"In response to the appeal for help
sought by Brgy. Bateria Chief, Arsenio Luciano, the provincial
government promised to provide all legal assistance the barangay
captain needs in the waterworks conflict he had with Daanbantayan Mayor
Sun Shimura."

"Luciano ... said he asked the advice of
Provincial Legal Officer Marino Martinquilla if it is legal to cut off
the water supply of the delinquent water consumers. Martinquilla
confirmed that it is lawful for the barangay, who owns the right of the
water system, to cut off the water supply of the delinquent payers."

"According
to Martinquilla, the governor did not order the municipal government to
take the management of the water system since the barangay used its
right to refuse the order to turn over the water system."

"The
governor, who frowned on what the police did, ordered the Prov’l. Legal
Office to re-evaluate and review the arrest of the plumber."

Shimura charged with Abuse of Authority, Oppression, Conspiracy to Commit Falsification of Public Documents and Dishonesty - Monday 17 August 2009

17 August 2009 - Balita ni Bantay breaking news

Stemming
from an incident involving the arrest of a 70 year old plumber in
Barangay Bateria on 18 July 2009, a complaint was lodged against
Daanbantayan Mayor Sun Shimura with the Provincial Board on 10 August
2009. The complaint charges Shimura with Abuse of Authority,
Oppression, Conspiracy to Commit Falsification of Public Documents and
Dishonesty.

Barangay Captain Arsenio Luciano lodged the complaint
after he approached Governor Gwen Garcia about the unjust arrest by the
police, who were instructed to do so by Shimura's mother, Vice Mayor
Malu Loot, allegedly without proper arrest procedures.

Gov Garcia
took a strong interest in the matter as Cap Luciano narrated the
background story involving the forced takeover of the Barangay's
waterworks system, a factor which ultimately led to the arrest. Garcia
then ordered the Provincial Attorneys office headed by Atty
Martinquella to assist Luciano in lodging further complaints, including
this complaint against Mayor Shimura.

Luciano claims that a Barangay resolution handing over the
waterworks to the Municipal Council, was allegedly forged by the
previous Barangay Captain Jorge Malinao in 2007. Flowing on from this,
further resolutions were passed by Mayor Shimura in 2008 which
officially took control of the waterworks. Luciano says that during
these processes the Mayor allegedly kept the matter quiet, ignored
protocols and did not seek approval of the Municpal Council, which in
turn allegedly did not advertise and seek public comment. The whole
process is therefore deemed illegal, and effectively null and void, due
to the actions of the Mayor who allegedly conspired to falsify official
documents and was dishonest in his dealings.

In fact the first
time that Cap Luciano knew of this "so called offical handover", was in
January 2009 when he was sent copies of various documents by the
Municipal Council following a complaint against him for administrative
wrongdoings in regard to collection of water charges & issuance of
receipts. He was advised he had no authority to do so as he was not in
charge of the waterworks system. It was Luciano's understanding that
the Barangay Captain had always historically been in charge of the
waterworks, and as it had never been handed over to new owners to the
best of his or other peoples knowledge, he was in fact acting with the
correct authority. That stance was supported by the legal opinion of
Provincial Atty Martinquella, which was obtained on 16 July 2009 by
Luciano, before he proceeded to disconnect delinquent payers. The
disconnection event & subsequent arrest of a plumber, has also
resulted in serious complaints being lodged against Malu Loot and four
Daanbantayan police.

An earlier complaint was previously lodged
by Luciano with the Ombudsman against Jorge Malinao over the fake
resolution and that matter is still pending.

Following that
complaint, Luciano was suspended for 3 months over supposed
administrative wrongdoings, but he claims the suspension was "payback"
orchestrated by Malu Loot for his action of opposing her by lodging a
case with the Ombudsman against her crony Jorge Malinao.

In August
2009 Provincial Atty Villa pepared the current complaint against
Shimura which related to the Executive Orders he issued, and this was
lodged with the Provincial Board last Monday 10 August 2009, along with
numerous supporting documents relating to the matter which go back to
mid 2007, when this saga of alleged deception first started taking
place.

Luciano claims that Vice Mayor Malu Loot has a personal
& egotistical desire to take over all local waterworks systems in
Daanbantayan municipality, and that she claims she was authorised to do
so by Governor Gwen Garcia. Luciano said that Loot "orchestrated" the
takeover, as the local owners resisted attempts to be taken over. Loot
then allegedly forced the takeover by having her crony and then
Barangay Captain, Jorge Malinao, allegedly create a fake resolution
& other documents that would effectively allow her & Shimura to
"legally" take over the waterworks system.

The circumstances
surrounding this takeover are certainly very suspicious and do appear
to indicate that illegal actions by the Loot & Shimura
administration and their crony Jorge Malinao & others have
occurred, with the end result being to effect a forced takeover, rather
than a legal handover.

13 August 2009 - At the recent Pasigarbo sa Sugbu festival queen
competition, held at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) in
Mandaue City, Jey Ann Avenido representing Daanbantayan, was announced
the winner and received a cash prize of P25,000.

On a sour
note, Daanbantayan Mayor Sun Shimura and his mother, Vice Mayor Maria
Luisa Loot, attended the competition but left early before the winners
were announced.

Both Sun Shimura & Malu Loot were
shunned by Governor Gwen Garcia at this competition award evening.
Whenever the Governor was near or exposed to Shimura & Loot, Gwen
Garcia turned away from them and refused to have them in her view.
Although the Daanbantayan entrant won the competition, both the Mayor
& Vice Mayor left before the winner was announced, due it is
believed to the poor reception they were given by Gov Garcia and other
officials at the ceremonies. In past competitions Shimura & Loot
were treated as dignitaries and given favourable seating etc, but on
this occasion they were treated as outcasts following their political
and personal rift with the Governor.

No wonder they left in disgust following the treatment they were
given. But by walking out and not acknowledging the winner, Shimura
& Loot have also displayed their own "immaturity", and by their own
actions in public, effectively admitted they were "unworthy people" to
represent and hold the office of Mayor and Vice Mayor.

Gov
Garcias public stance against Shimura & Loot is well justified
following numerous legal cases lodged against them, many of which have
been supported by the Governor herself. These include charges of Graft
lodged by NBI against Malu & Vic Loot, charges of Gross Negligence
& Dereliction of Duty against Shimura & Malu Loot re non
implementation of Provincial programs & misappropriation of funds
associated with Tarwasa water system.

Furthermore there are
also multiple charges against Malu Loot of Gross Misconduct, Conduct
Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority and Oppression lodged with the
Provincial Board, relating to an incident in Barangay Bateria,
Daanbantayan, where Malu Loot allegedly ordered local Daanbantayan
police to arrest a plumber who was disconnecting the water services of
delinquent payers. In addition Mayor Shimura has been charged re
illegal issuance of Executive Orders regarding the alleged illegal
takeover of Barangay Bateria waterworks, which involved alleged
falsification and fabrication of documents byJorge Malinao, a known
Loot crony. Malinao is also the subject of an official complaint at the
Ombudsman over this matter.

Monday 10 August 2009 - Confirmation has been received that at
todays session of the Provincial Board held in Cebu City, board members
have for the first time discussed a complaint lodged against Vice Mayor
Malu Loot of Daanbantayan. She has been charged with Gross Misconduct,
Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority and Oppression over an incident
involving the arrest of a plumber in Barangay Bateria on 18 July 2009.
A complaint has been lodged with the Provincial Board on 24 July 2009
by Barangay Captain Arsenio Luciano over the incident, which alleges
that Malu Loot ordered four policemen to arrest the plumber and any
other person interfering, without reason and without an arrest warrant.

Provincial
Police Chief Col Gacquing, determined from the policemen who were
involved that the arrest was ordered by Malu Loot, after Luciano
supervised a plumber to disconnect the water service of delinquent
payers in the Barangay. Luciano had previously ascertained that he had
legal authority to do so from Atty Martinquella of the Provincial
Attorneys office in Cebu City.

Loot though, claims that the Municpal Council has control of the
local Bateria waterworks as it was supposedly handed over by Barangay
Resolution, and she was therefore only doing her job to protect the
interests of water users.

Luciano claims that the Resolution was
forged by the previous Barangay Captain Jorge Malinao, and a case has
already been lodged with the Ombudsman regarding that matter. Luciano
also claims that the waterworks was never legally or officially handed
over to the Municpal Council, and that the actions of the Loot &
Shimura administration are illegal and designed purely to forcibly take
over the waterworks. Luciano claims the action was instigated by Malu
Loot as part of her egotistical desire to takeover all local waterworks
systems.

The Provincial Attorney was instructed by Governor
Gwen Garcia to assist Luciano in the lodging of complaints, after
listening to Luciano's story in her office. Garcia was disappointed at
the heavy handed "anti-people" actions of Vice Mayor Loot and the
police in arresting the 70 year old plumber, and she requested that the
plumber be released from jail immediately, and his arrest should be
expunged from the record.

Upon further examination of the
procedures involved in the "takeover", it was also discovered that
there were legal discrepancies and apparent wrongdoings in procedures
by Mayor Sun Shimura, which are considered Falsification and
Dishonesty. A seperate complaint and charges have been lodged with the
Provincial Board on 10 August 2009 regarding that matter.

Related
to the same incident, a complaint was also lodged with the Ombudsman
against the four police involved in the arrest of the plumber. Charged
with Gross Misconduct, Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority,
Persecution/Oppression and Grave threats are Daanbantayan police Chief
Inspector Laurel Almirante, SPO3 Cesar Alburo, PO3 Mario Verzosa and
PO2 Herminio Marinduque.

The weight of evidence appears to be firmly against the Shimura & Loot administration (and their cronies) in this matter.

Tell everything, says Governor - Wednesday 22 July 2009

When Captain Arsenio Luciano of Barangay Bateria, Daanbantayan,
decided to cut off the water supply to delinquent payers, he had no
idea how his life was going to change.

Whilst Luciano was
supervising a plumber to do the disconnections, local police arrived to
arrest the plumber and supporters, allegedly under direct orders from
Vice Mayor Malu Loot. It took the combined efforts of four policemen
brandishing their handguns to arrest the 70 year old plumber. Police
also tried unsuccessfully to arrest Luciano and another supporter
Luche, all without giving a valid reason or presenting warrants of
arrest.

Following the arrest on Saturday 18 July 2009, Luciano
met with Atty Martinquella of the Provincial Attorneys office in Cebu
City and Engr Quiroga, who is in charge of water systems. The matter
was then referred to Governor Gwen Garcia, who invited Luciano to her
office to tell her about his problems in the Barangay and ongoing
disputes with the Shimura & Loot administration.

Much to Cap
Luciano's surprise the Governor immediately called a press conference
to expose the issues. Her instruction to Luciano was simple, "Tell
everything to the Press". The photo above was taken during the press
conference and he has now become a "mini hero" in his Barangay.

What came next was perhaps the most tangible outcome of their
meeting, and rewarded Cap Luciano for his willingness to come forward
and expose the wrongdoings of the Shimura & Loot administration.
Governor Gwen Garcia promised her full support and the resources of the
Provincial Government to take administrative and legal action against
Mayor Sun Shimura, Vice Mayor Ma Luisa Loot and other Councillors in
regard to alleged mismanagement and corrupt activities.

The words
of Gov Garcia have subsequently been honoured, as seperate complaints
have been lodged with the Provincial Board against both Malu Loot &
Sun Shimura, as well as a complaint lodged with the Ombudsman against
the four police involved in the arrest of the plumber. These complaints
have been prepared by Atty Villa from the Provincial Attorneys office
under direction from Gov Garcia. The arrest was also raised by the
Governor with Cebu Provincial Police Chief, Col Gacquing, who has
already undertaken preliminary investigations regarding the behaviour
of his officers, and determined that Malu Loot directly ordered the
officers to make the arrest(s).

Details of the various complaints have been reported elsewhere on this website, but charges laid are as follows:

Against Malu Loot with the Provincial Board: Gross Misconduct, Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority and Oppression

Against
Sun Shimura with the Provincial Board: Abuse of Authority, Oppression,
Conspiracy to Commit Falsification of Public Documents, Dishonesty

Captain Luciano is
very pleased with and thankful for the positive response he has
received from the Cebu Provincial Government and in particular the
Governor Gwen Garcia, Provincial Attorney Martinquella, as well as Atty
Villa, Engr Quiroga & others. He believes that the long running
dispute regarding ownership and management of the local Barangay
Bateria waterworks system may be resolved by the Provincial Board as a
result of the complaints lodged.

Luciano's life has indeed
changed from that of a Barangay Captain struggling in political
opposition to "make a mark", to someone whose opinion, honesty &
integrity has been recognised by the Governor of the Province of Cebu,
and his willingness to "stand up and be heard" has been rewarded.

Plumber arrested in Bateria - What really happened - 20 July 2009

18 July 2009 - Near the location of Barangay Bateria hall,
Daanbantayan, on a Saturday morning, a 70 year old plumber Mr Tampus
was arrested by four Daanbantayan police, led by Chief Almirante. Mr
Tampus was disconnecting the water supply of delinquent payers, under
instructions from Bateria Barangay Captain Arsenio Luciano, who is
locally in charge of the waterworks.

When the plumber Mr Tampus
disconnected the first house, the delinquent paying resident
immediately informed Daanbantayan council officials, and it was soon
after that two policeman dressed in civilian clothes arrived,
apparently under orders from Malu Loot, whose voice was heard on the
residents mobile phone. When the police arrived the plumber Mr Tampus,
was sitting quietly outside the Barangay hall, as the disconnected
resident had thrown stones at him and threatened to chop him with a
Bolo (large knife). The police talked to the resident and then
proceeded to arrest the plumber who at no time resisted them as he is a
70 year old man with far less physical strength than the police. Other
press releases (promoted by Shimura & Loot as factual), have
suggested he was hiding inside the Barangay hall, but that is
incorrect, as he was at all times quietly sitting outside where it was
easy for police to gain physical access to him.

The officers did not inform Tampus or Barangay officials on what
charge he was being arrested. There was also no arrest warrant issued.
Barangay Captain Luciano advised the plumber not to go with the police
and resisted attempts by the police to remove Tampus, as Luciano
believed the arrest was unlawful and strongly advised police of that.
The police backed off and called for reinforcements. Soon after officer
Alburo arrived (also in plain clothes & carrying a weapon), and
again more forcefully tried to arrest Tampus. The three police were
again unsuccessful, as Barangay officials & supporters continued to
strongly object & hold on to Tampus, as no reason was given for the
arrest and no arrest warrant was shown to them. They believed the
arrest was unwarranted and unlawful, as police were not following
correct protocols.

Finally Daanbantayan Police Chief Almirante
arrived (also in casual clothes & carrying a weapon), and he was
very determined to arrest Tampus and anyone else who interfered. Alburo
& Almirante drew their police guns and waved them threateningly at
the group of Barangay officials and supporters, numbering about 16 in
total. Scuffles broke out as police tried to violently drag Tampus,
Captain Luciano and another supporter Rosanni Luche away and arrest
them all. The wife and child of Luche held on to their father and the
police lost their grip when Luche's belt broke. After much "bravado" by
the police officers, which consisted of them menacingly waving their
guns around at people, and making verbal threats and intimidating
actions towards those who were opposing them, police only managed to
arrest the 70 year old plumber Mr Tampus. In the foray Luciano, Luche
and other supporters escaped the grip of police, who then backed off.
Fearing for their safety, Barangay officials and supporters then
retreated inside the Barangay hall and closed the door to prevent
further unjustified harrassment by police. The police then left with
Tampus.

A short while later four gun carrying civilian goons of
Malu Loot arrived in the white cab utility vehicle with plate number
GLZ333, known to be owned by Malu Loot. The "leader" of the group
nicknamed "Kano", banged aggressively on the door of the Barangay hall,
so strongly that people inside though the door was going to break. One
of the Barangay Captains (a Tanod) unwittingly opened the door and let
Kano in. Kano acted very aggressively towards everyone present, asking
many times if there was any problem, to which people replied no.
Another goon was standing at the hall entrance door and one goon (the
driver) remained in the vehicle with the engine running. After a few
tense minutes Kano went outside, but the four goons continued to hover
around the area in an intimidating fashion for nearly an hour.

Barangay
officials & supporters then left the area in motor vehicles for
safety reasons, rather than riding motor bikes. It was considered too
dangerous with the presence of the goons to depart through remote
"jungle" roads where the goons could easily harrass or even murder
people who were easy targets when riding motor bikes. The goons did
actually follow a car load of people but turned around and returned to
the hall, when the car reached the main road junction and headed off in
the direction of Bogo, rather than Daanbantayan.

When the goons
returned to the hall, one Tanod (captain) was proceeding to leave and
was a short distance away from where other people were standing. Three
goons approached him, and while one goon held a gun to the captains
(Tanod) head, another goon held a gun to his torso, and a third goon
frisked him and did a body search. Note that these are civilian goons
with no police authority. One goon then attempted to plant an old rusty
revolver gun on the captain, by pushing the gun into the waistband of
his trousers. The waist band was too tight, so the gun dropped to the
ground instead. A commotion developed and other people came to the aid
of the Tanod (captain). The goons quickly moved away when there were a
number of people present who could witness these unlawful actions. It
is believed the goons were trying to plant a gun on the captain
(Tanod), so they could then do a "civilian arrest". This action would
cause legal problems for the Barangay people as they would then have to
spend money, time and resources fighting the fabricated case of
unlawful gun possession. The purpose of this action was to hinder and
cause nuisance to unco-operative opposition Barangay officials, and it
is believed that Malu Loot allegedly instructed the goons to do this.

People
have suggested that the real "target" of this gun plant episode, was
another person that Malu allegedly wanted put in jail for other alleged
but unproven "activities around the town", that caused her great
embarrassment and filled her with seething anger. People say the goons
were not able to plant the gun on that other person as he was in the
company of too many other witnesses when the goons "eyeballed" him.

Eventually
everyone including the goons left without further incident. Within a
short time though, it is understood that another plumber came &
without authority from Barangay Captain Luciano, reconnected the water
supply that had been disconnected.

It was not until the following
Wednesday morning that the 70 year old plumber Mr Tampus was bailed out
of jail, after having spent 4 nights there. Gov Garcia later requested
his arrest be expunged from the records. The outcome of the case
against him is still unsure, but Gov Gwen has also demanded Malu Loot
withdraw the case against him.

On Sunday 19 July 2009, a
scathing article appeared in the press accusing the plumber of stealing
water pipes and accusing Barangay Captain Luciano of acting unlawfully,
and also stating that police would pursue the laying of charges on all
16 people who supposedly obstructed the police. The article portrayed a
very incorrect view of what had actually happened and the circumstances
surrounding the event, and is believed to have been instigated by Malu
Loot and her "friendly" press associates.

In fact on the Thursday
prior (16 July), Barangay Captain Luciano had obtained legal advice
from the Provincial Attorneys office in Cebu City who said that he had
legal authority to order the disconnection. The underlying issue here
is a "dispute" between Barangay Bateria who claim to still have control
of the waterworks, and the Daanbantayan Municipal Council (Malu Loot
& Shimura), who claim to have taken over the water works.
Allegations have been made that former Barangay Captain Jorge Malinao
entered falsified and fake entries and resolutions into the minutes of
meetings of the Barangay, supposedly seconded by someone who did not
actually second the motion. This resolution was done without the
knowledge of other Barangay officials. That motion supposedly
officially handed over the waterworks to Daanbantayan Council.
Subsequently Mayor Sun Shimura issued an Executive Order taking over
the waterworks, but that order is now considered a technically
"illegal" order, as correct protocols were not followed by Mayor
Shimura & the town council. Malu Loot & Sun Shimura claim they
officially now run the waterworks due to the precedents set by the
Barangay resolution and the Mayor's Executiuve Order.

Barangay
Bateria officials lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman over the
unoffical and fake entries made by Jorge Malinao. The Executive Order
issued by Sun Shimura is the subject of a complaint subsequently lodged
with the Provincial Board in Cebu City, which essentially states the
order is an illegal order and is therefore not valid. It is alleged
that proper protocols and public advertising of the change of ownership
were not done, and that public submissions were not obtained and
analysed before the passing of the Executive Order.

The above two
cases clearly indicate that the whole "supposed" takeover of the
waterworks by Daanbantayan Municipal Council was illegal, and the
result of underhanded actions by Malinao & Shimura, allegedly
instigated by Malu Loot in her desire to take over all local water
systems, even when the owners of these water systems were not
agreeable. Malu Loot allegedly "forced & concocted" the takeover,
by fabricating all the legal documents and requirements without regard
to laws and applicable rules. Malu has repeatedly claimed that Governor
Gwen Garcia instructed or authorised her to takeover local waterworks
systems. Garcia has strongly denied authorising these types of
takeovers, in the light of legal cases & complaints lodged by both
Tarwasa (Tapilon Barangay) and now Bateria Barangay waterworks.

Following
the arrest of the 70 year old plumber Mr Tampus on Saturday 18 July
2009, Captain Luciano lodged a complaint with Atty Martinquella of the
Provincial Attorneys Office in Cebu City. The matter was then referred
to Governor Gwen Garcia, who immediately called a press conference.
Investigations by Colonel Gacquing, the Chief of Cebu Provincial
Police, determined that Malu Loot ordered the policeman to go to
Bateria and arrest the plumber and anyone else who interfered. Under
instructions from Governor Gwen Garcia, Police Chief Gacquing has
ordered a full investigation into the incident and has said that any
officers found guilty of misconduct will be dismissed.

The
Governor has also ordered a full investigation into the matter and has
provided legal assistance to Captain Luciano. Subsequently, serious
charges have been laid by Captain Luciano against Ma Luisa Loot for
Gross Misconduct, Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority and
Oppression, and this case is already the subject of an investigation by
the Provincial Board. Gov Garcia has also written a submission to the
Provincial Board asking them to expedite various cases now pending
against Loot & Shimura and particularly cases regarding water
systems. She is expecting a speedy resolution of these cases.

Furthermore
another case has been lodged with the Visayas (Cebu) Ombudsman
regarding a complaint against the four policemen involved in the arrest
of the plumber at Bateria. A complaint has been lodged against the
following Daanbantayan police, namely Chief Inspector Laurel Almirante,
SPO3 Cesar Alburo, PO3 Mario Verzosa and PO2 Herminio Marinduque for
Gross Misconduct, Conduct Unbecoming, Abuse of Authority,
Persecution/Oppression and Grave threats.

Note that Captain
Luciano states that he has never handed over the waterworks, and has
authority to disconnect delinquent payers as he has always been in
charge of the local waterworks since he became the elected Barangay
Captain in the 2007 elections, which ousted known Loot family crony
Jorge Malinao from the position of Barangay Captain. The Loot
administration has allegedly hampered his ability to carry out his
official Barangay Captain duties at every opportunity they get. He has
even been given a 3 month suspension by Daanbantayan Municipal Council
for administrative wrongdoings on his part. These relate to collection
of water payments & issuance of receipts, which Daanbantayan
Council claimed he no longer had authority to do, since they had taken
over the waterworks. This administrative action followed the lodging of
the complaint against Jorge Malinao, and was allegedly a form of
punishment by Malu Loot for his opposition to her.

Incidently
murdered town hero Gogong Arrogante had a strong interest in activities
involved with the Bateria waterworks and Bateria Barangay generally.
Gogong was instrumental in ensuring a victory for Luciano over Malinao
in the May 2007 elections. During counting the power was allegedly
tampered with & lights failed. "Officials" wanted to move the
ballot boxes to another location for final counting due to poor light.
The residents rallied and brought hand held lamps and physically
surrounded and cordoned off the voting area. This prevented officials
from departing and forced them to finish counting under the available
lights. The final vote count recorded a win for the opposition
candidate Arsenio Luciano. Residents allege that had the ballot boxes
been moved elsewhere, then the votes would have been tampered with and
the Loot team candidate & crony Jorge Malinao would have won
instead.

Watchdog has received an original Kinoykuyan newsletter that was
distributed in Daanbantayan around late June early July 2009.Click here to view the newsletter pages, or see links below.

The
document is affectionately known around town as "the illegal document",
after being so named by Vice Mayor Malu Loot who was absolutely furious
about its existence. The newsletter is a modest 5 sheet 10 page
document on legal/foolscap size newsprint paper with a colour front
page and black & white subsequent pages. It is indeed fascinating
reading and reveals many insights into allegedly corrupt activities
within the town, being carried out allegedly by municipal authorities
& their goons.

Malu Loot has ordered police to investigate
who was responsible for distributing this document, but so far they
have been unsuccessful in finding the perpetrator(s). The Daanbantayan
Police Chief informed Malu that no law had been broken with the release
of the newsletter, so there was nothing for them to investigate. Malu
claims it was her political opponents who were responsible but has no
proof or evidence to support her "theory". She says this was a
"massive" undertaking with significant financial backing, and believes
more than one person is involved but cannot work out exactly who they
are, other than her personal and unfounded suspicions. Malu has been
heard on Bantay Radyo lamblasting any and all opposition team members,
and even politicians from other towns are being blamed & lamblasted.

The Kinoykuyan newsletter has been scanned and is now available on
the Balita ni Bantay website for your reading pleasure. Please click on
the following link

Loot party Councillor Zenas Dublin
brought to the attention of a recent Friday afternoon Council session,
the fact that he had received a Kinoykuyan newsletter by post and
wanted to track the sender. Immediately opposition councillor Gilbert
Arrabis stood to his feet and said that he received a copy by post
also, and that it would be impossible to trace. Zenas persisted with
his complaint, and ordered local Daanbantayan Post office staff to
attend the council session and appraise the councillors on the source
of the letter, as Zenas had received the newsletter in a plain envelope
that was clearly post marked. The postal officer said the letter was
posted in a main Cebu City post office and that he could therefore not
offer any information as to who posted the letter, and suggested the
Councillors ask Cebu City Post Office for assistance. The postal
officer said that even if the letter was posted in Daanbantayan, it
would be impossible to trace the sender due to the huge volume of mail
that is posted every day.

Observers say that Zenas Dublin is
upset by some of the contents of the newsletter. Other townspeople
suggest that Zenas Dublin is referred to in the newsletter as the
Councillor who collects tong money in return for "turning a blind eye"
to illegal fishing activities.

As one townsperson said, Zenas
should ask Malu who sent the Kinoykuyan newsletter, as she believes she
knows who the perpetrator of the "illegal" document is.

Around late June and early July 2009, thousands of copies of a
newsletter titled KINOYKUYAN was distributed in all Barangays of
Daanbantayan and posted to various municipal officials and other people
in the town. It is believed that copies were also posted to various
officials and influential people in nearby towns and Cebu City.

The
Visayan language newsletter caused quite a stir in the town as
residents learnt of serious legal cases against their municipal leaders
the Mayor & Vice Mayor and Police Supt father/spouse, all members
of the Loot family.

The newsletter contained full colour
reprints & translations of press articles relating to multiple
charges laid by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for Graft
& related matters against Vice Mayor Maria Luisa Loot and her
husband Police Superintendant Vicente Loot of Cebu Provincial Police.
It also contained translated press articles relating to charges against
Mayor Sun Shimura and Vice Mayor Ma Luisa Loot for Gross Negligence and
Dereliction of Duty regarding the non implementation of Provincial
funded "aid" programs, to do with supply of milk for poverty stricken
residents of Tapilon area and non maintenance of a jeep provided by
Governor Gwen Garcia. As well there was news about additional charges
of misuse of Tarwasa water system funds, a case lodged against Sun
Shimura & Malu Loot with the Provincial Board.

Other sections of the newsletter were devoted to gossip or tsismis,
and while not naming persons specifically, did allude to various
illegal activities being carried out by certain nicknamed persons.
Townspeople believe they know who the persons referred to are, as they
have "common knowledge" of the truthfulness of the claims and
activities of certain persons whom they can correlate with the
nicknamed persons. A town councillor is alleged to be involved in
collecting bribes or tong in relation to large scale illegal fishing
activities in the waters off Daanbanatayan.

Many residents of
Daanbantayan were totally unaware of any of these charges having been
laid against the Loots as much information printed in the press is
allegedly suppressed from being freely and openly distributed in
Daanbantayan. Townspeople allege that Loot family associates purchase
ALL newspapers that get delivered to Daanbantayan whenever there are
bad press articles relating to the Loots. Furthermore townspeople say
that Loot family associates also allegedly bribe editors at major Cebu
newspapers to refrain from printing any stories detrimental to the Loot
family. They also say that cronies of Vic Loot allegedly intimidate and
threaten reporters and even allegedly murder reporters to prevent them
from publishing unfavourable stories about the Loots or their rich and
influential associates.

When the news broke locally via the free
KINOYKUYAN newsletter, there were disputes in the street between Loot
family supporters and their opponents over the validity or truthfulness
of the information contained in the newsletter. Strong arguments
developed and people were jostling and nearly fist fighting in the
streets. Residents who claim that Loot family supporters are only paid
cronies or in some way benefit financially from supporting the Loot
family, say these supporters have a high regard for the Loots and
"blindly" believe that the Loots do no wrong, whereas opponents on the
other hand brand the Loots as allegedly corrupt evil and vindictive
tyrants who will even allegedly murder anyone who represents a serious
political or personal threat against them.

Upon receiving the
news of KINOYKUYAN, Malu Loot was absolutely furious. She called
various people in from all Barangays and quizzed them about where and
how they got their copy of KINOYKUYAN. She even called in the local
Daanbantayan police to arrest the person she believed was the
perpetrator (without any evidence) and responsbile for fabricating and
distributing this "illegal" document, as she called it. Observers
report that by the end of the first week of July, Daanbantayan police
were told by Malu they would all be sacked and transferred to Mindanao
if they did not catch and arrest the perpetrator immediately, such was
the intensity of anger that Malu Loot was apparently displaying towards
this publication. Malu Loot even went on local Bantay Radio station and
lamblasted various people in the town for being supposedly associated
with the creation of the newsletter. Neither she or the police or any
persons she called in to her office, could give any evidence as to who
or which group of people were responsible for publishing and
distributing KINOYKUYAN.

Malu was furious that "apparently"
personal and private information about her family had been "leaked" and
published in the KINOYKUYAN newsletter. She was quite embarrassed that
various stories "apparently" about her family members and their antics
had been made public to thousands of residents. The word apparent is
used here, as there was no direct reference to named persons, as only
nicknames were used. Again most people around the town have "common
knowledge" and were therefore able to draw an association between the
stories and true identities, whom they believe to be Loot family
members and councillors.

The Chief of Police even told Malu that
there was nothing they could officially do, as no one was named and
there was therefore no slander or defamation.

The revelations
made in KINOYKUYAN newsletter have been seriously damaging to the Loot
family and they now have a very bad standing in the general public and
especially with the people of Daanbantayan, who feel totally betrayed
by the Loot family. The Loots deny all involvement in the activities
referred to in the newsletter and even create propaganda and
disinformation campaigns which paint quite the opposite picture of the
state of affairs in Daanbantayan.

Residents are keen to see the
legal actions referred to in the newsletter go further and hopeful of
positive outcomes that will dethrone the allegedly corrupt Loot family
from their positions of power, and bring about the removal from office
of Mayor Sun Shimura, Vice Mayor Malu Loot, P/Supt Vic Loot and
allegedly corrupt councillors such as Zenas Dublin and others.

Postscipt to this story some weeks later as at August 2009.

The
KINOYKUYAN newsletter is proving very popular reading in the offices of
the Capitol buildings in Cebu City. Apart from original copies
circulating, many more photocopies have been made of the newsletter for
distribution to other offices and staff. Governor Gwen Garcia is
showing an active interest in the allegations made. Updates will be
posted on this web site.

Last evening many dignitaries and officials attended
the State of the Province address given by Governor Gwen Garcia at the
Capitol social hall. During the evening the Governor shunned the
attention getting antics of Daanbantayan Vice Mayor Ma Luisa Loot
(Malu), much to the dislike of Malu who was trying to "save face".

Malu had a strong desire to be seen publicly with Gov Garcia, in an
amicable and friendly stance, in an attempt to stave off public
ridicule after the much published news that the Governor had given Malu
Loot a severe rebuke. This followed the announcement by NBI of serious
Graft charges laid against Malu Loot and her Police Supt husband
Vicente Loot. It also followed the laying of serious charges of Gross
Negligence and Dereliction of Duty against Daanbantayan Mayor Sun
Shimura and Vice Mayor Malu Loot, to be heard by the Provincial Board.

After the Governor's official speech, Vice Mayor Malu Loot and other
Daanbantayan town officials went onstage to personally congratulate
Governor Garcia, and to have their photographs taken by the many media
reporters who were present.

Onlookers observed that Gwen Garcia
ignored and avoided Malu Loot whenever Malu went near the Governor or
made gestures to get Gov Gwens attention. Malu was not successful in
getting an informal audience with the Governor.

Malu Loot was
seen leaving the social hall soon afterwards, well ahead of the other
town officials, and she had a very "square faced" look and was mumbling
and murmuring to herself as she left, a sign of her "disgust" with the
actions of the Governor towards her.

These actions by Governor
Gwen Garcia again confirm that there is a serious political and
personal rift between the Governor and the Loot family, and support the
belief that Gwen has dropped her previous ally Malu Loot from her
"team" in the lead up to the 2010 election.

It is pretty clear
from this and other prior events, that Gov Gwen Garcia is very unhappy
about the way Malu Loot conducts Government business in Daanbantayan,
and the Governor is making it very clear at all public functions that
she will have nothing more to do with Malu Loot or Sun Shimura.

One
of the serious issues that has caused this rift, is the alleged "forced
& illegal" takeover of various local water systems in Daanbantayn
by Shimura & Loot, which were strongly promoted by Malu Loot as
being under the direction and authorisation of Governor Garcia. Local
townspeople claim that in fact Loot and her team have allegedly
fabricated documentation that claims the town council had officially
been handed over various local water systems. These alleged illegal
actions & forced takeovers are now the subject of official
complaints lodged with the Ombudsman and the Provincial Board by
townspeople & Barangay officials.

Governor Gwen has stated
she is not happy that Malu claims to have carried out these
"appropriations" under authority from the Governor, and the Governor
has stated publicly via Capitol officials that she did not authorise
any forced or illegal takeover of Barangay owned water systems.

Misleading PR from Loot re Garcia relationship - Tuesday 7 July 2009

A press release was published in the Freeman on 4 July 2009 titled "Loot and Shimura stay with Gwen".

The
article was published within days of the release of the
Kinoykuyan newsletter in Daanbantayan. That newsletter had revealing
information about the collapsed political relationship between Loot,
Shimura and Governor Garcia. Townspeople allege that the above article
was a "damage control" reaction to the revelations in Kinoykuyan and
was published at the request of the Loot/Shimura administration in
order to convey to the general public that Loot & Shimura were
still "on friendly terms" with Garcia, and that their relationship had
not collapsed.

The journalist Gregg Rubio, is an employee of
Daanbantayan Municipality and as such is under the control of Malu Loot
& Shimura. Townspeople allege the services of Rubio were engaged to
deliberately deceive the general public regarding the true state of the
relationship with Governor Garcia, by means of this allegedly
misleading press release.

Subsequent events have indicated a
major "breaking of ties" in the political relationship between Garcia,
Loot & Shimura. The Governor has authorised legal assistance &
support to Daanbantayan Barangays that have been allegedly oppressed by
the actions of the Loot/Shimura administration. Serious charges have
since been lodged with the Provincial Board & Ombudsman against
Malu Loot, Sun Shimura and the Daanbantayan police force, under the
direction of Governor Gwen Garcia.

The only conclusion to be
reached is that there is no longer any political relationship between
Garcia, Loot & Shimura. The leaders and the administration of
Daanbantayan have been "dumped" by the Governor over their alleged
mismanagement, corruption & abuse of the people.

At the recent General Assembly of Mayors and Barangay officials of
Cebu Province, Governor Gwen Garcia indicated her dissatisfaction
towards the Loot family regime in Daanbantayan, by snubbing Mayor Sun
Shimura, and effectively his mother Vice Mayor Ma Luisa Loot who did
not attend.

Gov Gwen Garcia was seen to pout at (gi hiwian) Sun
Shimura, when it came time for him to be presented to her, and the
Governor walked straight past him without shaking his hand or
acknowledging his presence.

A few hundred attendees witnessed the
actions of the Governor, to which the Mayor Sun Shimura reacted
"immaturely" by walking out of the Assembly, after having phoned his
father Vic Loot to discuss what he should do.

Earlier in the evening during the speech ceremonies, the names of
all Cebu town Mayors were read out, except that of Daanbantan Mayor Sun
Shimura, who was clearly "left out" of the roll call. All 20 Barangays
of Daanbantayan were represented by attendees at the Assembly, and they
clearly noted the "deliberate omission" of their town Mayors name
during the announcements.

Many of the Daanbantayan officials who
were standing nearby to Mayor Shimura also noted Gov Gwen's pouting (gi
hiwian) and avoidance of Shimura.

This followed a severe
reprimand given to Malu Loot in the Mayors office over various matters
including the celebrated Graft case against Malu & Vic Loot lodged
by NBI, and the cases brought by the Provincial Board against Malu Loot
& Sun Shimura for gross negligence and dereliction of duty re
failure to implement Provincial programs (see previous stories).

These
actions by Governor Gwen Garcia are further evidence to support the
belief that the Governor has dumped Malu Loot as her ally in the lead
up to the 2010 elections.

Downfall of Loot empire has started - Tuesday, 26 May 2009

The "downfall" of the Loot empire & regime has been heralded by recent press releases about charges against Malu & Vic Loot for Graft, charges against Sun Shimura & Malu Loot for gross negligence and dereliction of duty, and charges relating to improper management of water authority funds. As well there is the political falling apart of former allies Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia & the Loot's and the blocking of Vic Loot's much bragged about promotion to General.

In response to the many cases and charges that have been recently lodged against the Loots, Malu called an urgent meeting of her Barangay leaders and co-ordinators at their Agujo Resort. The meeting was clearly called to manipulate her "supporters", and Malu spoke of the "troubles her family are experiencing now." Malu accused Itok Corro's group of being "behind" these legal challenges, and claimed these are "the handiwork of Itok's group who are out to grab power through other means, because Itok knows he cannot win in elections, especially now that she is the one running for Mayor in next year's election".

The emergency meeting was a "roll call and head count" of the ward leaders. It is unusual for a sitting Mayor/Vice-Mayor to do so at this point in time, so far before an election. Obviously, this is a sign of insecurity within the Loot/Shimura camp. Malu is scared that her group may have been affected and "demoralised" by the "bad publicity" of the past month or so, as there have been so many cases lodged against the Loots in such a short time period. On top of that, there is the sudden loss of support from Gov. Gwen Garcia as a result of the political rift between Gwen and the mother and son team, which followed a severe verbal rebuke given to Malu by a very angry Gwen Garcia. That rebuke reduced Malu to tears. It would appear that Malu and Gwen have officially parted company in a political sense, and Malu has been dropped from Gwen's "team". Rumours confirm this rift, as Gwen has approached Bogo Mayor Juni Martinez for discussions regarding preselection in the lead up to the 2010 election.

Perhaps Malu has conveniently overlooked the fact that Corro & De Leon are still the official winners of the Mayoral/Vice Mayoral seats in the May 2007 election, and only by allegedly undue influence of the Comelec Chairman, was a decision on the matter "put on hold". That decision could be finalised any day, and she may just find herself & Sun Shimura no longer in power. Until that decision is finalised the status of the current administration remains questionable. The Loot family has no "moral ascendancy" to continue governing Daanbantayan.

Murdered town hero & politician, Gogong Arrogante, predicted the "self destruction" of the Loot empire in discussions with many of his supporters before his death. Perhaps it was simply that Gogong was able to foresee these eventualities, but his words are now indeed "Prophetic", as the downfall is starting to unfold.

Many townspeople say Gogong's murder was allegedly masterminded by Malu & Vic Loot, and even Malu admits that her husband is an official suspect. Gogong was a serious and credible threat to their continuing alleged "rule of terror" over the town. He also caused them considerable embarrassment & emotional hurt when he filed bigamy charges against the Loot's. Malu is reported to have lost many influential friends as a result of that court case. Townspeople allege that the Loot's concocted evidence to get off the bigamy charge, and that the case filed by Gogong was indeed based on true details, as various records he originally obtained did show that. Gogong was always complaining about the graft and corruption that the administration of Daanbantayan was allegedly involved in. Recent revelations would seem to support Gogong's accusations of gross corruption, as detailed in charges laid by the NBI and the 78 supporting evidenciary documents. See details of these Graft charge documents in the "Our News" section.

The number of cases now against the Loot's are simply too many to handle. The Loot's now have a "tarnished" reputation due to bad publicity brought about by the celebrated Graft case filed by NBI before the Ombudsman in Manila. This was closely followed by the "self instigated" dereliction of duty and gross negligence case now before the Provincial Board (PB), which has apparently been sanctioned and approved by Governor Gwen Garcia. By swallowing their pride, Malu Loot & Sun Shimura tried "earnestly" to keep the political alliance intact, but it would seem that the "treasured" Gwen & Malu friendship has now irrepairably collapsed.

The Loot's hands are already full, and there is no doubt as the momentum of these actions build up, other cases will also be lodged against them. Townspeople predict that "more bad news" is coming !

"Oh, my golly ! Who will not feel rocked, rattled and shaken ?", says one townsperson in reference to the troubles the Loot family are now experiencing.

Meanwhile this Monday morning May 25, 2009, Malu has gathered her lawyers and department heads to map out and allegedly concoct defense strategies for the cases lodged by the PB (Capitol), ie the so called "milk, water & jeep" cases. Rumours are going around town that suggest some department heads will be "sick" today to avoid being forced to issue false statements which effectively "fabricate" evidence. They are to be commended for that action too, as apart from not supporting Malu & Sun in the cover up, at least they will avoid the possibility of being charged with the criminal offence of Perjury at a later date ! The very big problem that Malu & Sun face, is that the PB (Capitol) have very strong evidence in hand, ie they have the rotten sachets of unused chocolate milk and the dilapidated & unmaintained "scrap" Police jeep.

This is much the same situation that Malu & Vic Loot face with the Ombudsman & NBI re the Graft case. There is a huge body of evidence, totalling 78 attachments, against the Loot's, which they themselves have effectively created by their own business activity. In various press releases both Malu & Vic have repeatedly accepted that there are discrepancies between their records and those in the SALN's, and that they will update their "incorrect" records at the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) (also know as the tax office) and pay more tax as required. Furthermore they also stated they will prove that "undeclared" properties were legally obtained by them. The problem is they did not declare a number of properties on their SALN's, which is itself already an illegal act, to which they have admitted !

The same goes for the earlier points, they accept discrepancies in their SALN's so therefore admit guilt, and they agree they should pay more tax, also admitting guilt re understating their wealth and income on their SALN's.

The weight of evidence in all current matters is firmly against the Loot's, and it will only be a matter of time for all the legal processes to be carried out, at which time the Loot's will find they have criminal records and no jobs !

Daanbantayan will then be free of the alleged corrupt influence of these "leaders", which many townspeople say is "evil" in origin.

"The Loot's are devils in disguise", is a common statement of many Daanbantayan townspeople !

Following the publication of the story about Graft charges laid by NBI against Ma Luisa & Vicente Loot in Sunstar on Friday 24 & Saturday 25 April 2009, Malu Loot responded angrily on Bantay Radyo during Jun Juezan's program at 4pm on Monday 27 April 2009.

Below are excerpts of statements made by Malu Loot, bitterly attacking and lamblasting the opposition team of Itok Corro, and also attacking the NBI, and making wild accusations about NBI investigators.

Editorial comment: It's a bad idea to attack & criticise the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), that will only make matters worse.

English Translation:"Our political opponents had never stopped on us. Nobody is responsible for these except Itok and Junnie Martinez. Who else? Because they cannot win during elections, they resorted to filing cases against us. First, Itok filed "bigamy" case against both of us but it didn't work because it was dismissed by the court. Then he filed an Electoral Protest, but again it didn't work, that is why here they are again, Junnie (Mayor Junnie) and Itok (Engr. Augusto "Dodong Itok" Corro) spent money just to put us in trouble with the present case. I don't believe NBI will move without being given money. NBI will not waste their time without grease money. We were at the NBI office last Wednesday. We inquired why they picked on us when there are others they would have looked into. And the one who conducted the investigation, oy, a coward man, the NBI who conducted the lifestyle check is now hiding in America, on the pretext that he is "schooling" in the U.S. The truth is, he is on vacation spending the money given to him by Junnie and Itok. Anyway, because you have encroached on our personal lives, we are not backing off on you. We will be filing a case against NBI with this that they had done to us. Why did they had not talked to us before filing the case before Ombudsman? This should not have resulted to the present situation. And you, Liza (Atty. Liza Corro), Itok, Junnie, you never will admit. Who will shoulder the P600,000.00 acceptance fee that we had paid to our Lawyer who will handle this case? You who are from Daanbantayan, not anyone of you will stand and say that I have stolen money from our town's coffer. You very well know that I am using my own service vehicles, not the one owned by the town. For if we became wealthy, it is because we labored for it. We did not become rich because of politics. If the people no longer like us, I will go and reside in Mandaue so I could take care of our businesses. Not anybody will also stand up and say that Col. Loot had stolen or that he is corrupt as a Police officer. I am used to being poor. If you are envious of our being rich and wealthy, you better strive so that you will also become rich. You will all regret why you did this to us. We will not back-off on you."

Letter from a Daanbantayan native - Wednesday, 22 April 2009

This letter was received from a native of Daanbantayan who left town 8 years ago and voices some very interesting comments about the demeanor of the people of Daanbantayan under the "rule" of the Loot regime.

The novice 25 year old Mayor of Daanbantayan Sun Shimura and his 52 year old mother Vice Mayor Ma Luisa Loot have been charged with gross negligence and dereliction of duty in regard to non implementation of programs of the Provincial Government and the breaking of a Memorandum of Agreement regarding the maintenance of a jeep provided by the Provincial Government.

These latest charges are hot on the heels last April 3, 2009 of serious criminal Graft & Corruption charges laid by the NBI against Vice Mayor Ma Luisa Loot & her husband Police Supt Vicente Loot, alleging massive unexplained wealth of nearly P25 million (pesos) in the past two years and serious irregularities in their joint SALN's of 2006 & 2007. News of these criminal Graft & Corruption charges finally made it into the Cebu press in front page articles that appeared in the Cebu based Sunstar newspaper on 24 April 2009.

The latest charges were detailed in a complaint filed by Provincial Social Welfare and Development officerMarivic Garces and Bernard Calderon of the General Services Office which was lodged on Monday 11 May 2009 at the Office of the Provincial Secretary.

Shimura and Loot were earlier given a warning about implementation of the programs of the Provincial Government but did not adequately respond.

Information coming out of the office of Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia, indicates that Gwen severely reprimanded Ma Luisa Loot last week over various matters, in particular the serious Graft & Corruption charges that the Loot husband & wife team are now facing. Vice Mayor Loot was reduced to tears by the verbal tirade that Governor Gwen inflicted upon Ma Luisa Loot.

Clearly Governor Garcia is not happy with the performance of the Loot family, now that mother, husband & son are all facing serious charges. With the track record that the Loot family is now gathering, it will only be a matter of time before their empire collapses due to their own ineptitude.

It is high time that all three Loot family members are stood down from their respective positions pending the outcome of all the charges laid. Governor Garcia should now be liaising with DILG Sec Ronaldo Puno to stand down Ma Luisa Loot, Vicente Loot & Sun Shimura. Puno is effectively "the boss" of the Mayor and Vice Mayor and of Police Supt Loot, in his role as Secretary of Department of Interior & Local Government, which is also in charge of the PNP.

Lets see how serious Garcia & Puno are about getting rid of corrupt officials who are under their watch !These senior government officials have a "duty of care" to remove from office any official or employee found to be errant in their duties and engaging in criminal intent.

CEBU, Philippines - The committee on complaints and investigation of theProvincial Board is now looking into the administrative complaint filedagainst Daanbantayan town Mayor Sun Shimura and his mother Vice Mayor Ma.Luisa Loot.

The complaint was filed by Provincial Social Welfare and Development officerMarivic Garces and Bernard Calderon of the General Services Office againstthe officials for gross negligence and dereliction of duty as provided underSection 60 of the Republic Act No. 7160 of the Local Government Code.

Garces and Calderon personally went to the Office of the ProvincialSecretary last Monday afternoon to file the complaint against Shimura andLoot. They were assisted by provincial legal officer Marino Mantiquilla inthe filing of the two separate complaints.

It was not in the main agenda of the PB session last Monday but thecomplaint was included in the "other matters" items.

PB members Joven Mondigo Jr. told The Freeman that the committee willconvene next week to determine the rules of procedure governing the case.

The committee consists of PB members Victor Maambong, Peter John Calderon,Julian Daan and Juan Bolo.

In the complaint filed by the social welfare officer, Garces accused themayor and the vice mayor of not implementing the programs of the provincialgovernment. These include special programs like the Early Child Care andDevelopment program and Sinanduloy program as well as regular programs forchildren, women, the youth and the elderly.

According to the complaint, Shimura and Loot were reminded about theimplementation of the program of the provincial government but did not heedthem.

In a report to Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, which was attached to thecomplaint submitted to the PB, Garces said majority of the barangays havenot organized their councils for the protection of children.

In the supplemental feeding program, it was observed that 1,125 sachets ofmilk were left to spoil at the municipal social welfare development office.

The milk were supposed to be for malnourished children of barangay Tapilonbut were not distributed as scheduled because there was no clear listing ofbeneficiaries.

"There was lack of supervision from the LGU focal person and absence ofcoordination among the team members in the conduct of the feeding hence, itdid not start on time. No formal report was submitted to the Provincial ECCDteam regarding the spoilage until it was pulled out by the team," Garcessaid in her report.

Since the start of the implementation of Sinanduloy program in June 2008 thetown only implemented the program for three months.

It was also observed that programs for the children, women, youth, elderly,disabled and the municipal workers were not organized.

In a separate complaint, Calderon allegedly said that Shimura and Lootreturned the province military jeep in April 28 despite the standingmemorandum of agreement entered between the town and the province.

Under the MOA, the town will undertake the maintenance of the policemilitary jeep after it was turned over in 2004 during the first term ofGarcia.

In a separate interview, Shimura said he was saddened by the filing of thecomplaints which he believed was supported by Garcia

She told dyLA radio yesterday that Corro already tried but failed to have her convicted for bigamy.

The vice mayor also questioned why they were not given a chance to answer the allegations before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) recommended the filing of charges against them.

In her three terms as mayor, Daanbantayan wouldn’t have developed from a fourth-class to a first-class municipality if she pocketed its funds, Loot said in the same interview.

Also yesterday, an anti-graft official confirmed the Office of the Ombudsman has changed some of the requirements a public official must declare in his or her Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN).

But, Assistant Ombudsman Virginia Santiago clarified yesterday, the changes only take effect this year (2008 assets, for submission this year) and that the revised forms have not even been fully distributed yet.

The Corro camp denied any involvement in the NBI’s recommendation to prosecute the Loots for the “unexplained increase in their assets.”

Diversion?

“However, even if we deny our involvement, the Loots, I believe, would prefer to use us as a convenient excuse, rather than address the actual merits of the issue,” lawyer Liza Corro told Sun.Star Cebu in a text message.

Her older brother, Engr. Augusto Corro, ran for Daanbantayan mayor in 2007 against the vice mayor’s son, Sun Shimura. A judicial recount declared Corro as the actual winner, but the elections commission has yet to rule on the dispute.

“I urge the Loots to use their access with the NBI, if they really haven’t done so, so they may confirm that we do not have a hand in it,” Liza Corro said.

As for the new requirements, Assistant Ombudsman Santiago said: “We have been distributing the new forms which will be used as the baseline declaration and the Civil Service (Commission) is conducting seminars on how to accomplish them.”

Santiago’s clarification stands in contrast with Police Senior Supt. Vicente Loot’s explanation on why the National Bureau ofInvestigation (NBI) in Manila found an “unexplained increase” in assets in the SALN Loot filed jointly with his wife, Vice Mayor Ma. Luisa Loot of Daanbantayan.

The NBI sent the Office of the Ombudsman a “transmittal letter” on the subject and recommended the “prosecution” of both the police colonel and his wife for alleged violations of the anti-graft law and the Code of Conduct for Public Officials and Employees, as well as falsification.

Increase

The letter also cites Republic Act (RA) 1379, which sets the procedures and commands the forfeiture, in favor of the state, of any property unlawfully acquired by any public officer or employee.

Loot, in an interview Thursday, acknowledged there was indeed an increase in their net worth between 2005 and 2006 (about P4.5 million) and between 2006 and 2007 (P19.05 million), as the NBI reported.

However, he said, this was since he included new baseline declarations in the SALN forms he submitted in the later years. These, he said, were not required in the SALN of the previous years.

He noted that items, including insurance and investment policies like pre-need plans, even those acquired in the 1980s, were now required for declaration. Hence, his assets appeared to have ballooned.

Santiago refused to comment on the NBI complaint per se, adding that it is not an Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas case and that she knows nothing of the investigation.

She explained the revisions and said all public officials must secure the new forms so they can submit their baseline declarations starting April 30 this year.

New rules

A public official’s first submission of the new SALN form will serve as his or her baseline declarations. Subsequent SALNS will be compared with the baseline data. The SALN is required annually.

The old SALN forms provide boxes for real estate assets, its location, year acquired, mode of acquisition, assessed value, current fair market value, and the acquisition costs, and cost of improvements.

A separate box is also provided for “personal and other properties” under which may be filed bank deposits or vehicles.

A third box is for liabilities. A simple formula of total assets minus total liabilities is followed to determine net worth.

In the revised forms, a public official now has to include the assets and liabilities of his spouse and children.

Likewise considered assets are cash receivables and deposits or advanced payments on leases and rentals, equity in installment purchases and intellectual properties.

Thorough

“The baseline declaration is more complicated but it is more thorough,” Santiago yesterday explained.

The NBI, in finding basis to recommend the Loots’ prosecution, said “the increase in net worth is not proportionate with the annual taxable income declared by the subjects.”

“There is no sufficient explanation on the exorbitant increase,” added the document, signed by NBI Deputy Director for Special Investigation Services Victor Bessat.

Bessat, citing the findings of lawyer Allan Contado, chief of the NBI’s anti-graft division, said the Loot spouses had a total taxable income of P611,214 in 2005, P612,548 in 2006, and P604,680 in 2007.

The figures were based on their tax returns and took into account their salaries and income from their businesses-the Gallera de Mandaue (a cockpit), Eigado Mini Mart, Eigado Lending Investors, the Mandaue Sabungan Canteen, and the Eigado Real Estate Lessor.

In the SALN the Loots submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas, the spouses declared their net worth as P83,075,143 for 2005, P87,645,800 in 2006, and P106,701,628 in 2007. (KNR/With CYR & GMD)

2 Cebu officials in graft raps - 24 April 2009

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/network/2-cebu-officials-graft-raps

CEBU CITY -- The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has recommended the prosecution of two Cebu public officials, finding an "unexplained increase in their assets."

Daanbantayan Vice Mayor Ma. Luisa Loot and her husband, Police Senior Superintendent Vicente Loot, allegedly violated the anti-graft law and the Code of Conduct for Public Officials and Employees and falsified public documents.

"The increase in net worth is not proportionate with the annual taxable income declared by the subjects," the NBI said in a letter-complaint the Office of the Ombudsman in Manila received last April 3.

"There is no sufficient explanation on the exorbitant increase," added the document, signed by NBI Deputy Director for Special Investigation Services Victor Bessat.

Senior Superintendent Loot believes the complaint has political backing. He told Sun.Star Cebu there were some items they did not include in previous statements of assets and liabilities because these were not required then.

The vice mayor, in a separate interview, described the matter as "political harassment."

She told Sun.Star Cebu by phone that they went to the NBI central office last Wednesday to ask about the case. She also pointed out that as early as 1998, she already declared some P82 million in assets.

Loot said they are updating their records at the Bureau of Internal Revenue so they can correct any deficiencies in their taxes.

Business

Other than the anti-graft law, the code of conduct and the Revised Penal Code's provision against falsification, Bessat's letter-complaint also cited Republic Act (RA) 1379.

The law sets the procedures and commands the forfeiture, in favor of the state, of any property unlawfully acquired by any public officer or employee.

"Whenever any public officer or employee has acquired during his incumbency an amount of public property which is manifestly out of proportion to his salary... other lawful income and income from legitimately acquired property, said property is presumed prima facie to have been unlawfully acquired," Section 2 of RA 1379 reads.

Bessat, citing the findings of lawyer Allan Contado, chief of the NBI's anti-graft division, said the Loot spouses had a total taxable income of P611,214 in 2005, P612,548 in 2006, and P604,680 in 2007.

The figures were based on their tax returns and took into account their salaries and income from their businesses-the Gallera de Mandaue (a cockpit), Eigado Mini Mart, Eigado Lending Investors, the Mandaue Sabungan Canteen, and the Eigado Real Estate Lessor.

Increase

Meanwhile, in the joint Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) that the Loots submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas for 2005, 2006, and 2007, the spouses declared their net worth as P83,075,143 for 2005, P87,645,800 in 2006, and P106,701,628 in 2007.

The NBI letter-complaint cited the sharp increase in the Loot couple's net worth between 2005 and 2006 (about P4.5 million) and between 2006 and 2007 (P19.05 million).

"How could there be an increase in the amount of P4,570,657 in the year 2006 if the only taxable income earned during that year was only P612,548 (based on the annual tax returns)?" Bessat said in his letter.

Bessat said the spouses attributed the 2007 increase-about P19 million-to their construction of houses within Mandaue City's Mango Green Village, worth P12,272,000, and the acquisition of a Quezon City condominium worth P4.9 million.

They indicated that the value of the Mandaue City property supposedly increased by P23,772,000 from the original P12.2 million, said Bessat.

'Abrupt'

The couple also indicated that they made additional investments amounting to P6,485,728.

Still, Bessat said, the increase "could not justify or explain the abrupt increase in income."

Likewise, Bessat said, the couple already factored in the Mandaue City houses in their 2006 SALN.

Senior Superintendent Loot acknowledged there was a difference but explained that recently, there were "new baseline declarations" that did not require some items in previous years.

He noted that some items such as insurance and investment policies like pre-need plans were acquired in the 1980s yet and had to be included in the new forms.

Loot added that in previous years, they were not required to itemize all their assets.

No due process

He said he was ready to answer the allegations, but questioned why he and the vice mayor were immediately being charged.

"If they had approached us earlier to ask us about it (the increase in net worth), we would have explained. Dili na unta maabot sa ingon ani. But we are ready to answer that," Loot said in a phone interview.

He added that a pending case before the Office of the Ombudsman was designed to affect his plans to pursue a promotion.

Loot felt that they were not accorded with due process because they were not asked to explain before it was decided that a complaint be filed against them.

He added that with their declared sources of income, one could not doubt that they would be able to afford the assets they have declared. Loot was at the main headquarters in Camp Crame yesterday and admitted many friends have contacted him regarding the impending charges.

Bessat's letter-complaint also stressed the couple failed to reflect certain properties and holdings in their SALN.

The couple, he said, only declared ownership of two parcels of land and two buildings. However, the NBI found, the couple actually has six parcels of land in Daanbantayan.

Vice Mayor Loot said they are ready to face any inquiry to show political detractors they acquired these legally.

She lamented the "personal attack on my private life" and described the case as part of "dirty political tricks" to get back at them. (KNR/MEA/GMD/Sun.Star Cebu)

For allegedly amassing unexplained wealth, a Cebu town vice mayor and herpoliceman-husband have been charged with graft and corrupt practices beforethe Ombudsman.

Vice Mayor Ma. Luisa Judal Loot of Daanbantayan in Cebu, and her husband,Senior Supt. Vicente Areno Loot, chief of the Cebu Provincial Police Office,were also charged with violations of the code of ethics for public officialsand faking public documents in a complaint filed by the National Bureau ofInvestigation.

The charges against the Loot couple stemmed from the questionable increasein their net worth, which was not proportionate with the annual taxableincome they declared in their Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Networth.

The accused reported a net worth of P87.6 million in 2006 and P106.7 millionin 2007, representing a P4.5-million increase for 2006 and a more thanP19-million hike from 2006 to 2007.

"There is no sufficient explanation for the exorbitant increase in net worthof the couple for 2006 and 2007," the NBI said in the complaint.

"How could there be an increase in the amount of P4,570,657 in the year 2006if the taxable income earned during that year was only P612,548? Same istrue for 2007," said the NBI.

The NBI said the Loot couple claimed that the increase in their net worth in2006 was brought about by an increase in their real properties byP8,500,000, a decrease in the value of their personal properties in theamount of P1,091 million and a P2.8- million increase in their liabilities.

The Loots said the increase in their real property was caused by theconstruction of a five-unit townhouse worth P8,500,000 at Mango GreenVillage, Mandaue City in 2006.

"Assuming that the decrease in personal properties and the increase ofliabilities has contributed to the cost of construction of the townhouse,the remaining increase of P4,570,657 is unexplained as there was no visiblesource of income that would support the increase," noted the NBI.

In 2007, the value of their properties was placed at P23.7 million, fromP16.5 million in 2006.

The couple claimed to have made some investments amounting to P6.48 million.

"However, even the increase in subjects' liabilities and their annual incomecould not justify or explain the sources of the abrupt increase in assets,"said the NBI.

Aside from the unexplained increase in assets, the accused also haveproperties under their names that were not reflected in their joint SALN.

Based on their joint SALN, the couple declared they own only two parcels ofland and two buildings.

But, verification with the Assessor's Office of Daanbantayan disclosed therewere six other parcels of land declared under the name of the couple. Theylikewise have properties in Agujo, Daanbantayan.

The police officer also failed to include in the joint SALN his businessinterest in Photomate Inc. as an incorporator when it was formed in May1993.

Loots charged with graft & corruption by NBI - Tuesday 7 April 2009

It's official, the husband & wife team of the Loot family have been charged by the NBI with graft and corruption on four criminal counts.

Manila based newspapers have been running stories today about charges laid with the Ombudsmans office by the NBI against Ma Luisa Loot, Vice Mayor of Daanbantayan, and Vicente Areno Loot, Sr Supt PNP Police Cebu City. These press releases appear in the Press section of this website.

The charges stem from irregularities detected in their joint Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN).

It appears that the National Bureau of Investigation Anti-Graft Division, headed by Lawyer Allan Contado, has done a very thorough investigation of the property & assets owned by Ma Luisa & Vicente Loot. The NBI determined that the Loots joint incomes and liabilities do not "match up" with their total declared net worth and the huge increase in their overall wealth in one year. The NBI discovered irregularities in stated ownership of properties in Cebu, where the property ownership declared in their joint SALN, did not match actual ownership according to local Daanbantayan Assessors office records.

The charges even refer to forfeiture of illegally obtained assets, so the Loots may be forced to give up a large part of their wealth to the government coffers.

This is a very serious situation the Loots now find themselves in, and the outcome of the criminal charges laid may affect their future careers quite dramatically.

Local people have been complaining for years about alleged illegal activities from which the Loots derive a huge income, in particular the alleged multi million peso per month income from "turning a blind eye" to large scale illegal fishing activities in the Daanbantayan area.

It appears that the allegations of local people may have some merit after all.

Already there are rumours circulating Cebu City, that Loot associates have allegedly put pressure on local newspaper media publishers to suppress the publication of stories about them, and stop them from appearing in the local newpapers. Claims have been made by the Loot camp that the charges are "political".

The charges laid by the NBI with the Ombudsman consist of four serious criminal charges, so this is really a criminal matter, not a political matter. Watchdog has received advice that in matters such as these where lifestyle checks occurs, then guilt has been established and thus the laying of charges occurs. It is up to the accused to prove their innocence, if possible. The case lodged against the Loots appears to be very strong.
